We have plenty of those too, they're known as Statutory Corporations. Maybe because there's no direct private sector involvement Aussie Post has retained its public service ethos.
We also have Crown Resorts, with which our politicians are besotted… it runs most of our casinos.

White Ibis are Sydney's the biggest problem wrt to rubbish bins. Never used to get them, now they're everywhere… they're native so they're protected. In flight they look a bit like pterodactyls.
The flying foxes (aka as fruit bats) will strip a tree bare of fruit in a matter of minutes - we cover our fig trees with purse seine fishing nets. They're also smelly, especially where they roost.
