Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 week agothat’s what i thought as well
all the major blow outs snowy, ndis, etc all have private companies at the heart of them

Even if we don’t get rid of capitalism (my preference), I honestly think if we at least reverted to: infrasture should be publically owned, constructed (with direct employment, not private contracts), and maintained, we’d save a bunch of money, have better quality infrastructure, and provide stable employment to a bunch more people.
Though, there is serious restructuring to do to government departments. My suggestion? Make department leadership elected by the workers (they’d still be beholden to the government, but it means that you’d have fewer “manager” types at the reigns who don’t actually have a clue).
And, as forementioned, the route problem here is capitalism.
