      abstract = {On 2 June 2009, the Queensland Government announced a  programme of asset sales projected to realise $15 billion.  In this article, the public case for privatisation put  forward by the Queensland Government is shown to be wrong  and, in important respects, deliberately misleading. It is  argued that the presentation of a spurious case for  privatisation has contributed to poor policy decisions  regarding the choice of assets to be sold, the failure to  restructure the rail industry to promote competition, and  the adoption of inferior methods for sale.
