With no outlay for maintenance from them.

Sigh.... Do you even read all of the articles you post or just find a snippet you can latch on to for your disinformation

In that same article you posted:

The infrastructure company would pay for the contract, maintain and operate the road for its duration, and earn a profit gathering the tolling revenue.

From your own article:

‘The Government retains ownership of the road, and resumes operating the road at the end of the contract.’

NO PRIVITISATION

This is what the right is - smart, gets things done and we get to a road delivered and paid for before it would even be built by the left.

Not sure the people of your hometown are overjoyed with this option Wiz

There is no need to go to the private sector for money for roads or other key infrastructure. PPPs cost more to the public.
The private sector already makes a margin when planning and building the infrastructure. Using private money to fund it is a double dip - We will be paying a premium for the cost of capital.
Again we fatally misunderstanding how govt's pay for things to the detriment of wider society and the economy.

Just do a proper business case on the infrastructure - BCRs higher than 1.5 - it's going to be worthwhile to build using public money.
