@mloxton And not only in the Trump regime, but these kinds of people - DOGE for example - are out there in the private sector in droves, telling themselves that they are efficient and competent, and super, and mostly the dismal reality of their skillset remains hidden. Now we can see their work product publicly, and what a load of codswallop, what a myth, that the private sector is smart, efficient, well run. #PrivateSector #PublicSector #Incompetence #USPol

Not the Opposition leader making apologies for asking Canberra to go back to the Office to work, Not the, “I’m going to “sack the Public servants who do the Education👩‍🏫👨‍🏫 and Health things ⚕️🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️” (cite), but this from the Opposition Treasurer. ☢️🛢️

“Well done Angus”.

In an interview with ABC News Breakfast host James Glenday:

TAYLOR “We absolutely not backing down on that, I can assure you, James and we’re not backing down to making sure we drive down prices of electricity.”

GLENDAY asks how exactly the Coalition will pay for it?

TAYLOR “#NuclearPower ☢️ is through to 2050, and it’s substantially lower than the cost of Labor’s policies.”

GLENDAY “It’s hundreds of billions of dollars no matter which way you twist it.”

TAYLOR “Well that’s the #EnergySystem. The energy system much of which is paid for by a combination of the #PrivateSector and #StateGovernments. The piece we will #finance, of course, is the #NuclearGenerators which will deliver a return and that’s how we have modelled it, James.”

Well done Angus, now show me the costings?

With no plan, #Liberal / #LNP make themselves open to critical analysis and thus reverse their decisions when deficiencies are pointed out.

When we think of the #PrivateSector we think of dynamic, forward-thinking ideas. Consider how much #shareholder value private water companies have created through interesting ways of doing business.

When we think of the #PublicSector, we think of old, decaying ideas. Consider how the state provides little to no value to shareholders or businesses, especially when it comes to onerous regulations.

It’s simple: the private sector should be able to do the things that the public sector can do – because they will just do it way better.

Just in case you had any doubts about the impact of ever increasing involvement in , here's a story from Mexico, that should convince you that anyone who think introducing more private sector provision into the is helpful is merely building a trojan horse while acting as a stooge for profiteering, inhumane exploiters of the vulnerable....

And if you think this couldn't happen here, think again!
