But even if they lost money, they are still a shocking monopoly. As for the government, they definitely are a monopoly, no doubt about that. There's only 1 government, like it, lump it, or leave. However, every three years the voters get a chance to bust it up and put it under new management. 16% doesn’t seem like an extraordinary profit to me.

It required a staff of 200 to assess applications for up to $50,000 each. In the first two years less than a hundred applications were approved.This took up half the budget in costs. As well the applicants spent up to a third of the money received engaging consultants to prepare their applications..Still there was a beneficial effect in reducing the un-employment stats.

Whats stopping you having private surgery, the specialists are the same, the facilities are in the main better, in some cases the public sector will pay for your treatment, you could always get health insurance (unless your getting to old ) at a reasonable rate. You bleat on about how good the private sector is (and it is) but rememer, they only want the cream and if something goes wrong, guess where you will end up' the public secto. Private is good for selected reasons, but they take the cream and guess where the milk goes! public health. Jeremy, your winging is becoming a broken record for the righties.

In the last posts they have all argued that the Govt has been a prudent manager of our tax payer dollars. Now you show them how Govt is more profitable than the big nasty profit taking business they all love to hate. You'r just being a trouble maker. DPF, your baiting the lefties again aren’t you.
