Inside story #PrivateSector feasting on #Scotland's #nationalised #trains

#Scottish Government taken over ScotRail, but the trains are leased from private sector at eye-watering cost

An obscene 25% of every ticket sold goes to private companies leasing rolling stock

#ScotRail needs to replace 69 trains

Abandoning the leasing system would save £362 million

Not the Opposition leader making apologies for asking Canberra to go back to the Office to work, Not the, “I’m going to “sack the Public servants who do the Education👩‍🏫👨‍🏫 and Health things ⚕️🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️” (cite), but this from the Opposition Treasurer. ☢️🛢️

“Well done Angus”.

In an interview with ABC News Breakfast host James Glenday:

TAYLOR “We absolutely not backing down on that, I can assure you, James and we’re not backing down to making sure we drive down prices of electricity.”

GLENDAY asks how exactly the Coalition will pay for it?

TAYLOR “#NuclearPower ☢️ is through to 2050, and it’s substantially lower than the cost of Labor’s policies.”

GLENDAY “It’s hundreds of billions of dollars no matter which way you twist it.”

TAYLOR “Well that’s the #EnergySystem. The energy system much of which is paid for by a combination of the #PrivateSector and #StateGovernments. The piece we will #finance, of course, is the #NuclearGenerators which will deliver a return and that’s how we have modelled it, James.”

Well done Angus, now show me the costings?

With no plan, #Liberal / #LNP make themselves open to critical analysis and thus reverse their decisions when deficiencies are pointed out.

🇸🇬"Richer property owners due to higher ppty prices mean a higher #costofliving, which undermines int'l competitiveness. A weak currency helps make exports competitive, but raises price of imported goods & svcs. A Budget surplus readily funds subsidies, but also means tt #Government is taking in more fr households & businesses than it's disbursing to them. This means a larger #state but smaller #privatesector. & a current acct surplus is achieved by restrain'g curr consumption & #investment"💯

When we think of the #PrivateSector we think of dynamic, forward-thinking ideas. Consider how much #shareholder value private water companies have created through interesting ways of doing business.

When we think of the #PublicSector, we think of old, decaying ideas. Consider how the state provides little to no value to shareholders or businesses, especially when it comes to onerous regulations.

It’s simple: the private sector should be able to do the things that the public sector can do – because they will just do it way better.
