Iemma rushing power sell-off

Unions are accusing the New South Wales Government of inadequate community consultation on a plan to privatise electricity assets.

A call for public submissions will be made this week and they are due by February 8.

United Services Union spokesman Ben Kruse is on a committee set up to assess the plan and says the deadline gives people less than a fortnight to respond.

"The advertisement for the public submissions will only be published in Tuesday's paper," he said.

"Indeed the criteria the committee is using isn't even included in that advertisement. You have to go to the Government's website to find it."
