The ~$80 billion paid for services by its users would increase to ~$104 billion if performed by a for-profit entity.
That's $24 billion + the $9 billion below break-even.
So $35 billion more, or ~$100 per person. That's 3x more.

Each day, we learn of Israelβs theft of yet another slice of Palestine. Piece by piece, acre by acre, the Palestinian nation has been seized by Israeli offensive forces and carved up by Zionist colonizers in contravention of all treaties, accords, βpeaceβ agreements and the like.

I was βthe boss.β I asked a great deal of the ABC Victoria team, and they always responded with grace, and often courage and always respect. They never wondered about legislation, except to question it on behalf of survivors and residents. ABC Victoria procedures were adopted nationwide.
06.12.2025 09:03 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0When ABC News ( Aust) canβt see past the economic orthodoxy we get this rubbish. There is no measure that says the economy is βcrumbling.β Inflation up slightly, interest rates steady, (low ) unemployment steady (4.4%), house prices rocketing, non-essential spending rising.

06.12.2025 02:33 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It was my decision to set up that station. We did it so the people of Kinglake could share news and information discretely, when all the world were treating them like freaks. It was a small part of the recovery effort.

It's a reminder of what future damage Trump is doing today on medical research.
