The Prime Minister (of Australia) has brought John Black out of retirement to clean up a government mess. He tells the PM he doesn't want to waste his time on a project that will be killed off when the focus groups turn surly. Don't worry, says the PM, I won't go to water.
Many of the problems are fixed by the stroke of a pen. But there is no easy way to return the companies to the private sector. That's John Black's job: privatise them.
Labor's Left and the unions resist with great ferocity. As the election gets closer, The Prime Minister gets wobbly.
Corruption, violence, lies, self-aggrandisement, waste money, greed, lust for power: just another day in politics.
But not quite. John Black will make sure the PM keeps his promise, no matter what.
