Not only does the private company freeze up when the public infrastructure - it relies on for profit - fails, it makes things worse for the rest of us. Capitalist philosophy is a virus in our social arrangements.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
