Chapter 12 Port Reform: The Australian Experience

Author

  • Everett, Sophia
  • Robinson, Ross

Abstract

A decade after port reform was initiated in Australia it is becoming clear that objectives of corporatisation are not being realised. For example, political intervention persists, which thwarts commercial benefits being realised. The chapter suggests that this is not a problem of political interference per se. Rather it is a product of the model of corporatisation set in place and is imbedded in legislation.
