If It Wasn’t’ For The Workers …
Our neighbour works as a #Nurse in the Balfour #Hospital. When our road was blocked with snow, but the top road had been cleared, it was arranged that a #Coastguard vehicle would collect her at an arranged point on the top road, take her to work then bring her back again.
This is possible because the #NHS can work with the Coastguard. If our #health care ...

Origin Energy secured up to $450 million in potential taxpayer-backed support (via the NSW govt's underwriting deal to extend Eraring coal plant operations) — while raking in massive profits (around $1.5 billion underlying in recent years, often rounded up in commentary).
This is classic fallout from the privatisation of NSW's energy assets: sell off public infrastructure like Eraring in 2013 for a quick buck, then years later, when reliability's at risk during the energy transition, taxpayers end up backstopping a private giant's coal ops.
Local workers face job uncertainty in the shift from coal, communities lose out, and everyday Aussies foot the bill through subsidies or higher bills — all while shareholders pocket the gains.
Privatisation leaves workers & taxpayers holding the bag. Time to rethink handing essential services to profit-driven corporates. -
Get your rocks off Ventnor roads now
#Ventnor on the #IsleOfWight is a beautiful, unique Victorian #seaside resort much loved by locals and visitors alike.
Currently six of #Ventnor's #roads are blocked unnecessarily by minor rock debris that take a distressing average of 14 months for #PFI (for profit, contracted #corporation) Island Roads/County Council to clear.

#England can learn from #Scotland's population #health plan
The framework is important guiding light over next 10 years in recognising what determines the Scottish population’s health and wellbeing is more than health care: that sectors and approaches need to work together to improve #health (working well in their own silos is not enough), and that living a good life matters as well as length of life

Same driver, 26 years apart in China.
Meanwhile, countries like Australia and the USA are in the same boat when it comes to trains. Rail doesn’t suit the interests of private trucking companies, airlines, and bus operators — so it’s been left to decay. When nations let big corporations call the shots on public infrastructure, everything starts to fall apart.#publictransport #railfail #privatisationfail #corporategreed #australia #usa #infrastructuredecay #trainsmatter #lobbying

I can't believe the government are letting our #water bills go up by as much as £220 a year
I've just emailed my MP asking them to intervene. It only too about 30 seconds.

Buy back British Gas
Under #Labour plans, #GreatBritishEnergy won’t sell direct to UK households - this is a missed opportunity
Please buy back British Gas as the retail wing of the new company, so it can give us cheaper bills.
63% of the population want to buy back #BritishGas. It is normal for households to be able to buy energy directly from a publicly owned company in other countries like France and Sweden.

Privatisation promised savings and better services. Instead, we got higher costs and crumbling infrastructure. 🚆💧

How much does your water company profit from pollution?
This is a scandal. Every day, private English #water companies are dumping huge amounts of disgusting raw sewage into our rivers and seas. #Privatisation has been failing since 1989.
The shareholders receive £1.6 billion a year on average - that money could be invested in water infrastructure to stop sewage. 69% of us support public ownership.

‘The entire #Sydney rail network went down this afternoon, causing transport chaos for millions. The cause was the failure of a digital communications system (the Digital Train Radio System).
I've seen comments online from someone claiming to work at #SydneyRail that responsibility for DTRS has recently been privatised by the #Coalition NSW state government under Premier #Perrottet.
Can anyone clarify?

82-year-old #Luccombe resident refuses to leave home despite five-foot drop caused by landslide
He’d repeatedly complained to #SouthernWater about a water leak in his garage over 2 years ago, which he eventually fixed with a friend.
However, a burst water main in 2022, he says, coincided with new large cracks appearing on his home.
