So the Federal Government is offering a 'Once Off' 15% for states to sell assets, surely this is ridiculous! Anything worth selling is most probably making a healthy return, maybe as much as 15% in some cases, but even a 7.50%pa return means the state has given up the Assets Income for a 'brought forward' 7.50% bonus.

This is short term thinking, kicking the can down the road attitude again?

I guess one benefit is the state does receive a once off larger lump sum to use for new projects, but simile they could just borrow the money and build a new project and pay for it with the income from other assets as any Corporate would do.
