“When essential services fail their citizens, governments should not entrust the clean-up to private consultancies…A system corrupted by the unaccountable motive of profit isn’t repaired within that same logic.”

The government must abandon the fictional role of markets in services that are almost entirely public funded, and engage in more direct provision, writes Alison Pennington. Today’s privatised government services are tomorrow’s royal commissions. satpa.pe/YCUj2zB

It’s a very dark reflection on the state of Australian politics that Labor (including Albanese) seem more satisfied with defeating Bandt than Dutton.
