Ciarifying:
Prior to (all 22) Commonwealth owned airports being sold or privatised, they were administered for the Commonwealth by the Federal Airports Corporation. SACL was the new Corporate entity that took over (in this case example) SYD airport after privatisation. Airlines (eg QF) merely continued to operate as before in their commercial encironment.
