“I recognise the importance of Melbourne Water and Victoria's major water and wastewater infrastructure as essential public assets.

My position is that these assets should remain publicly owned unless a compelling and independently verified public-interest case demonstrates otherwise. I do not support privatisation simply to provide a short-term financial benefit to government.”

“There is no plan to privatise Melbourne water at all or any other publicly run water company. “

One Nation’s broader platform emphasises that essential infrastructure and resource assets should serve the public interest and regional communities. Keeping critical water and wastewater assets under public control ensures they remain accountable to the public rather than treated as commercial commodities.
