What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Rachel Millward’s criticism of the water system and the Greens’ call to nationalise water companies. BBC News keeps the focus on her “disaster” remark and the claim that nationalisation would reverse “radical underinvestment,” while The Guardian US adds the detail that she said there should be no compensation for shareholders and creditors, describing the companies as insolvent.
