Criminalising Dissent and the True Public Cost of Privatisation
Update: 2025-07-11
Description
This week, we expose the real costs of privatisation in Australia’s essential services – early childhood education, health, aged care, and universities – highlighting how deregulation, outsourcing, and profit-driven policies have undermined safety, quality, and public accountability. We revisit the collapse of ABC Learning, rising fees, unqualified staff, and controversies like Julie Bishop’s lavish university spending, asking: has privatisation failed? We also investigate the political response to anti-Semitic incidents following criticism of Israel’s war on Gaza, media misreporting of protests, and the government’s selective protections. Plus: is Australia truly independent within the US alliance? And what does the RBA’s cash rate decision mean for housing, inflation, and working Australians?
