My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. CommBank, CSL and Qantas were all privatised by Labor, and now you're set to follow those footsteps and let Airservices Australia sell off billions in firefighting assets, though Airservices will lease these back anyway. Why let Airservices sell out our hardworking aviation firefighters and risk aviation safety with an accounting trick that will cost more in the long term?
