While the matter at hand is solely a state government responsibility, I would note that the South Australian Marshall Liberal government has been explicitly clear about the fact that their announcement about the future operation of their tram and train services is not privatisation; it's an outsourcing measure, and the state government will retain control of services, including setting fares. I would also note that, at present, all other jurisdictions outsource the provision of tram services. The Marshall government, like the Morrison government, is focused on delivering better infrastructure and services for all Australians.
