Make a profit. Trust me, I’m from the private sector

April 22, 2025

The wall between the public sector and the private sector has been well and truly broken . The crossing of that line is at the core of every crisis Australia/the world is now facing. Everything from the health crisis to the climate crisis is a result of the blurring of this line.

Failing to understand this most basic principal of society is at the core of every issue we now face.

Put simply, the job of the private sector is to make a profit and the job of government is to govern for the good of all society. When you lose sight of these two facts, one or other will profit above the other.

In the case of our medical system, the ever-growing presence of the private sector has put profit ahead of service and the results are long queues, ramping, co-payments, poor service in regional areas etc. If these problems are ever to be fixed, it will require government intervention and money which can’t happen as long as we have the “if you elect them they will put taxes up” mantra.
