Private sector bad

In numerous areas such as education, health and corrections the Government has almost been on a jihad against the private sector, freezing or eliminating their eligibility for funding no matter how good a job they are doing.

In tertiary education we have seen the amount available for private tertiary providers frozen for many years and only one third of available funds allocated.

While in the last couple of years public sector polytechnics have ripped off the taxpayer with the up to $120 million of community education rorts such as CDs, cell phones and radio sing alongs.

Personally I wish the Government would focus on the quality of the courses, when deciding funding, not who owns the buikldings.
