You would have thought, of all govt institutions, the Court’s administration would have conducted ‘due dilligence’ and adopted pro-active management practices of the contract rather than rely on contract clauses agreed to. When the ABC uncovered that transcription services where outsourced to a company in India in breach of its contract, I was shocked at the administration’s complacency and the excuses those responsible for the contract made.

'A slow burning disaster': National court transcript service calls in administrators

Four weeks after the ABC revealed sensitive court files were being accessed offshore in a potential risk to national security, the company responsible for the breach has entered into voluntary administration.

I would’ve thought that the Justice system, the third pillar of democratic govt, was too critical to ‘outsource’ and definately not a branch of government that ought to have any of its functions #Privatised and milked for ‘#Profits’ . It’s bad enough that the legal profession is privatised leading to wealth being a determinent in the quality of legal representation one is afforded in Court and hence better legal outcomes for those represented, but Court functions #outsourced to #PrivateEnterprises should never occur. All Court processes ought to remain fully under govt funding and appropriate publicly-owned services IMO.

This case is an yet example of #StateTheft and #StateCapture brought to you by the ‘debunked’ #NeoLiberal order. The #Grifters are getting into all aspect of our democracy in order to feather their own nest and enslave the rest of us a la #Fascist #America and its #tRumpAdministration.
