Following up on my last toot about #SateCapture #PrivatisationForProfits #Auspol #NSW #Labor

"More than two years in, and we are still fixing the mess left behind by the Liberals and Nationals.

Their obsession with privatisation wasn't restricted to just hospitals. Because of the Liberals privatisation agenda NSW motorists have been left with a toll bill of $195 billion and commuters will be paying it until 2060.

They conducted a fire sale of the State’s assets, including:

Eraring, sold for $50 million in 2013
Vales Point, sold for just $1m in 2015 to former National Party candidate Trevor St Baker and revalued 3 years later at $730m.
The rest of the electricity network including Bayswater, Mt Piper, Transgrid, Endeavour and Ausgrid.
Westconnex, sold for $20.3 billion over 2 stages after they promised there would be no more privatisation.
They even sold the Land Titles Office – the right to register property in NSW – for $2.6 billion in 2017.

And of course – they tried to privatise Maitland Hospital, Wyong Hospital, Goulburn Hospital, Shellharbour Hospital and Bowral Hospital.

Every time they want to build something new, they look around for the next public asset to sell off.

Just like they did to the Northern Beaches Hospital.

We won’t let this happen." (Source Labor Party Newsletter)

See.. it canbe done. It should be done for all #HealthCare #Services. A society is beholden to look after those who require medical treatment and help. WTF has any private individual/corporation got anything to do with the provision of social services in the first place?

This GOOD NEWS from NSW Labor govt:
"Yesterday, the Minns Labor Government began dismantling the mess and damage caused by Liberals' privatisation.

We announced that we have deployed a team to work alongside staff at the Northern Beaches Hospital to prepare to end the public private partnership (PPP) and transfer the hospital back to NSW Health." (Source: Labor newsletter)
