Premier Mike Baird will sell off a big chunk of the NSW electricity industry if he wins  the March Election. The history of privatisations tells us that ex Banker Baird's  plans will result in:

* HIGHER ELECTRICITY PRICES - Pensioners, families, businesses and individuals will all pay more as private companies seek to maximise  profits.
* POORER SERVICES  - 32% increase in blackouts in Victoria after privatisation.
*REDUCED PUBLIC SAFETY - Cuts to maintenance spending results in reduced public safety, particularly during bush fires and storms.
*JOB LOSSES - Private owners move quickly to close local depots, sack local workers and stop training apprentices.
*REDUCED REVENUE: N.S.W poles and wires currently fund hospitals, schools and community services to the tune of $2.5 billion PA

KEEP THE POWER WITH THE PEOPLE: STOP THE SELL OFF: JOIN THE SPRINGWOOD RALLYSpeakers - Mark Lennon, secretary Unions NSW, Adam Kerslake, Director, Stop The Sell Off Campaign. Plus Candidates for the Blue Mountains in the NSW election - All declared candidates have been invited

Authorised by K. Cooke, President, Blue Mountains Union Council
