Private owners ONLY want profit and LOTS of it and STUFF improving the privatised (sold of cheap!) asset.
Geez, you are naive FD!
incorrect.
the best things that keep getting improved are made by private companies
just look at smart phones and tv's.
every year they get better and better.
anything done by government is catastrophic and usually a failure.
what do people complain about most
public hospitals, teaching standards, public housing, delays at centrelink.
the private company delivers or the public dont support it.
the public company has a monopoly and the workers bounce out of bed, with the aim of spending as much time as possible gossipping at the water fountain

Untrue - Many government industries performed very well.
Public hospitals are mostly great and they along with Medicare keep the private system functioning. The Private medical system is highly subsidised by the government and Medicare as well as the government system taking on their excess load and functions that the private sector hospitals cannot.
Public schools are about the top standard with a select wealthy few able to attend the very top privates.
Privatisation in Telecommunications, banking, insurance, power etc have all been a disaster. The were all sold at a bargain basement price where the people (The owners never got value for money). Service standards dropped and cost escalated across the board. Privatisation has been an embarrassing corrupt failure in almost every case.
