Restructuring of public utilities has been a response to the competitive pressures of internationalisation in many parts of the world. In Australia, the states of Victoria and New South Wales have taken rather different approaches with respect to electricity generation. Both have fragmented their industries, establishing autonomous corporate entities, but in Victoria these have been sold—to multinational companies, as it happens—while in New South Wales ownership remains in the hands of the state government. This paper attempts to discover the repercussions for labour—management relations of the restructuring of electricity generation in the two states and, particularly, whether the different forms of ownership have affected these relations.
