Initial sale was I think. Same with CBA and some of Telstra from memory.
You could argue CBA made sense, though looking at Australia's world record leading fees for financial services I'd argue we could use a large state bank as an alternative to keep fees lower.
Telstra and Qantas should never have been sold.
Howard was king of the sell offs though. Held a firesale.
Yet when it comes to Telstra, there's threads on this site from back in the day of the younger generation screaming for it to be sold and the older posters being ridiculed for suggesting it be kept.
