“We’re going to put in place a joint-venture partnership with the private sector to ensure that we get a modernised, adaptable service,” Mr Pallas said, vowing that the agency would never be completely sold off.
He said the government would maintain control over the pricing of services, access to the road network and the privacy of data. Roads Minister Ben Carroll said the private partnership would allow for a “digital transformation” of VicRoads that would, for example, enable teenagers to sit their learner driver test online.
“They will be entitled to remain with the government. They will get the choice, should they choose to move to the private sector provider,” he said.for a government-private sector partnership in State Parliament two years ago, saying he would not dismiss working with the private sector to improve the delivery of road services.
noeltowell Doing this will be a huge mistake
noeltowell 🤔 belt and road ....
noeltowell Another stupid decision by this shit DanielAndrewsMP government
noeltowell Governament has a pathetic job recruitment. Long application,writing 1000 words,3 pages CV,interviews,STAR methodology, long time to hear back, sometimes no response to application,so much frustration, better to seperate and work in real environment and no more govt luxury.
noeltowell Almost bankrupted
noeltowell Dan the flog
noeltowell This is very dissapointing. Another disaster for the community. Federal & state both have failed 😣 with privatisation, have you guys not learned any leasons? You have just had a RC into aged care.. so incompetent, that you guys cannot handle any industry. So community suffers.😡
noeltowell Selling off your personal data to the Chinese. Well done Dan.
noeltowell what a surprise, giving away 40 years of revenue for a lump sum. now. Goodbye our already bleak future. Watch for other 'give me cash now' deals. It is our future revenue to run the state being pulled forward and largely given away to do so!
noeltowell Privatisation of a monopoly service only serves to deliver super profits to the lucky winner. The losers are the people of Victoria. Either we can afford the IT upgrade (with record low interest rates)...or we can’t. We certainly can’t afford to privatisatise it. DanielAndrewsMP
noeltowell This seems like a bad idea.
noeltowell ALP neoliberalism. privatisation is theft.
noeltowell What have we learned about privatising public service agencies? It doesn't work, as soon as you have someone trying to make a profit for profit's sake, it's no longer public service it's highway robbery.
noeltowell why
noeltowell '...it’s effectively a partnership that hopefully will work for the Victorian people.' Great. Let's make massively critical financial decisions based on hopes and crossed fingers. Watch rego fees hit $1000 by 2022.
noeltowell Daniel Kennett
noeltowell Just what we need..m
noeltowell Hang on, Vicroads IT systems are already outsourced to private operators
noeltowell Jerk
noeltowell Only good if the owner invests in improving the whole process. L plater fees to register, attend in person, manually check ID (not much for a 17yo), then do an online test. Plus fees to then get L plates. Why not link into Medicare record, & allow test online. cheapeasy
noeltowell What could possibly go wrong
noeltowell 🤬🤬🤬 Why?!? How does having a 3rd player in Vicroads help? Who is the private interest going to be owned & run by?!? And who’s mate in parliament will get them the contract?
noeltowell Can we impeach Dan
noeltowell Typical Labor party
noeltowell This better not got to Transurban. Another Dan dumb deal to destroy victorians for decades to come. Like the failed westgate tunnel project otmr dropping road signs on your car. Dan should not be allowed to make any major decisons until next election. No more mate deals Dan!
noeltowell Why should anyone be surprised my local MP (Dan the Man) wants to sell off this? Sounds like the usual lazy politics that state governments get involved with when they are incapable of solving the problem themselves.
noeltowell Simple administrative function. Why do you need to add private enterprise profit, misalignment of objectives, executive overheads to deliver a routine service?
noeltowell Just great. Part privatisation is what they did with the SEC. look what that got us.
noeltowell Standard. Socialise the costs and privatise the profits. Rinse and repeat
noeltowell Sold to the Chinese under the belt and roads deal no doubt.
noeltowell Not right, why do I want my data in hands of a private company.
noeltowell F-ing hell.
noeltowell thats not why we have government!
noeltowell Using Private security guards worked so well in hotel quarantine! What could possibly go wrong with letting a private company sell licences?!?! Insanity
noeltowell Have governments not learnt the perils and failures of contracting out/privatising their obligations - Cases: 3rd party contracted providersfor: security for detention centres (Federally), hotel quarantine security (State), Covid immunidations (Federal), Metro Trains (State),...
noeltowell What? After the shambolic privatisation of regulatory functions in other jurisdictions?
noeltowell You know how the conspriacy theorists keep saying that Andrews is a Socialist... I really wish he was.
