People who fail to understand the role of government share your view.

Private enterprise is filled with ordinary people who wrap processes and procedures around activities to achieve organisational goals. So to does government.

Both however regularly fail, sometimes the failings are minor and sometimes the failings are too big to ignore.

When a private enterprise fails, we have regulatory bodies (most of the government lead) who step in and complete reviews. From these reviews we have findings, recommendations and often penalties.

Where a government organisation fails, who comes in to review? Themselves? I bet you'd be the first person to waive their arms when you hear self-regulated industries!

This separation between operating and governing is as important as the separation of church and state, the judicial arm of government and the legislative government etc etc

Out of interest, do you support a political party that's foundations are union? With one of the most high profile unions, coming out publicly, declaring on the steps of court that they break the law. This is a beautiful example of the dangers of governments, where criminals have infiltrated and control political parties for their own gain. This is why the role of government needs to be limited.

And the power of corporations.

Its all about 'balance'. How thats achieved is where the argument is.
 
When governments fail, there's actually a very easy way to hold them accountable. We vote them out. Banks have been unaccountable for decades. I'm also cynical that they will truly be held accountable now or that this will be anything other than a minor bump in their usual activities.

Unfortunately no

Governments come and go but the citizens wear the consequences long after they are gone.

The number of busted arse nations on the planet attests to the price of poor government


In fact you’d say it’s a death spiral. Poor government leads to higher levels of poverty and desperation. Desperate people vote for short termism. Shortermism leads to poverty. Trump would be an example of this on the right and criminal unions would be an example on the left.

So who would do the most damage, the sum total of criminal unions, or the mass of local & international corporates?

Tony Abbott calling for compulsory acquisition of private enterprise assets by the state. What a ******* commie.

Abbott has no guiding political ideology beyond keeping himself in the fashion to which he has become accustomed.

(That includes maintaining social mores as he prefers them).

He's no actual classical Liberal.
