Summary
Produced by the Community and Public Sector Union, this short video addresses the threat of privatisation of Australian public water utilities, which is set against the backdrop of privatisation of public water in France and the United Kingdom, resulting in significant price rises, reduced service and community input, as well as poor employment outcomes. In a country as dry as Australia, water security is seen as critically important.
The video integrates news and current affairs footage with interviews of local and international experts, as well as CPSU officials, along with footage of dams and water infrastructure in Australia, England and France.
