''The money is better spent via reducing taxes for start-ups and letting private enterprises run the show''
absolutely not - private enterprise is the mechanism that's stuffed up all kinds of things
it drove towards bottom line at end of year and no forward thinking
it stuffed up public transport
all privatisation
education - forcing universities to become business and sell to foreigners
business refuses to fund research
you want to see how good 'start ups' are - look to the speccies on the Oz stock exchange -
that give you a high level of confidence, does it? ---------- full of fools and money grabbers with no thought to shareholders beyond the next capital raising
Government has a role --------- but, manufacturing is old hat and private enterprise ------------ pffffffffffffft
Oz needs a total turn about in thinking - I've said it many times before - with details
