While yes they have been leased, they have also been privatised and the leases sold for basically 99 years similar to Darwin port - they are no longer public assets.

The same will be the way of the rest of the transport networks, they will be sold for 99 years - that number just so people can say "we did not SELL them" just leased them.

Leasing has great tax benefits!
