Mojo ♻️NSW to Ban Privatisation of Public Hospitals The NSW government is introducing "Joe’s Law" to block future privatisation of public acute hospitals. The law is named after two-year-old Joe Massa, who died in September after waiting three hours in the emergency department of Northern Beaches Hospital—a private-public partnership (PPP) operated by Healthscope. The decision follows concerns over patient safety in privatised healthcare systems. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicHealth</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/JoesLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JoesLaw</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NSWHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NSWHealth</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/privitisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privitisation</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auspol</a><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/27/joes-law-to-ban-future-hospital-privatisation-in-nsw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/27/joes-law-to-ban-future-hospital-privatisation-in-nsw</a>

Mojo ♻️The $1 Million Miracle: How to Turn Peanuts into $730 Million (Just Ask the NSW Government!) Remember that time in 2015 when the NSW Government sold the totally outdated, super-polluting Vales Point Power Station for a cool $1 million? Yeah, just your average fire sale of a public asset. But wait — plot twist! By 2017, this "worthless" coal plant was magically valued at $730 million. Guess it just needed a little private sector fairy dust to unlock its true potential, right? 🙃 Ah, privatisation — where public assets go to become someone else’s goldmine. What a deal!

Mojo ♻️Rising costs, growing inequality, and a shift towards user-pays? The future of Australian healthcare is at a crossroads. With an ageing population and fewer workers to support it, how will we manage? Is private health cover easing the burden or making things worse? And could Australia be heading towards a US-style system? <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Healthcare</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medicare</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/privitisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privitisation</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HandsOfMedicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandsOfMedicare</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Auspol</a> <a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/news/insight/article/its-going-to-spiral-out-of-control-are-we-headed-for-a-us-style-healthcare-system/cwvfawlc7" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sbs.com.au/news/insight/article/its-going-to-spiral-out-of-control-are-we-headed-for-a-us-style-healthcare-system/cwvfawlc7</a>

Mojo ♻️<a href="https://todon.eu/@dbattistella" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dbattistella</a> Privatising healthcare is a dangerous path—look at the US, where basic medicines like asthma inhalers cost 10-40x more than here. In Australia, we pay as little as $7.30 for life-saving meds thanks to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). In the US? Over $500 without insurance. When healthcare becomes profit-driven: * Prices skyrocket * Accessibility plummets * Health becomes a privilege, not a rightOur public system works because it prioritises people over profits. Let’s NOT follow a model where families ration medicine or skip care to pay bills. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auspol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medicare</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/privitisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privitisation</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/medicarecuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medicarecuts</a>
