So you can tell that dumbf*** what a mixed economy is.

You have discovered that community ownership and government business is not private business ? B^D
You better go back to your comic books.

Does the community as a whole own the equipment of the ADF and control it's operations, or is it in private hands?

And owners of a pooload of land, capital, means of production, etc! B^D
Not private ownership, socialist. B^)
Record taxes = More socialist interference in the free market than ever!
Ask a real free marketeer, you are clearly some confused Liberal wet, particularly behind the ears!
"..Ownership and control in the hands of the community as a whole"
Not privately owned, not on the market.

The market is a bunch of Tex's in shiny suits texting on mobiles, sitting on top of the telecoms, roads, power companies, schools, hospitals, Universities, Armed forces, Police, Water boards... ALL BUILT BY the SOCIALIST PIONEERS, and now sold off for spivs and wankers to run them into the ground.. like Howard, who has to discount Telstra to flog it off in a firesale! B^D
It's all built on the socialist infrastructure! Protected by the socialist services, run according to the socialist laws...
Even the bits that have subsequently flogged off for some overseas suit to run into the ground for you fat arsed shareholders who have never built anything more than a huge arse print in the couch ! B^D
As I said, we have a mixed economy, the free market provides child love and cornflakes packets, for you to get your knowledge of economics from. The government takes care of defence, security, police, hospitals, courts, and policy and regulation for everything else.. because experience shows the unfettered free market will sell drugs and children.
They had to step in because no one else did.
Are you and American, because you seem to know f*** all about the Australian capital market.
Even now our private savings rate is negative.
The reason no one complained about a private national network is because there was none. No one would build it, they still wont!
Anytime a private telco could build a better national telecommunications infrastucture it would have been welcome, still would be. NONE were.. NONE are now. B^p
And now the one we once had is almost destroyed.
I am talking about a national telecommunications infrastructure, not the choice of Optus or Telstra cable TV in Kew, and neither providing broadband in Donald, Little River, or Warnambool, let alone half of Melbourne!
And you are wetting yourself because you have a choice of handsets and plans for dial-a-hooker phone love.
Unless you want to be part of the modern, connected world.
Or run a business outside the metropolitan area
The one which provided the national network most private telcos still use.
Only the part which did things.
Who owns our army?
Who owns the Police?
'Capitalist funds'? Shares, dividends, loans, other monetary instruments? You really did get your economics from the back of a cornflakes packet.
Police, defence, fire brigade, ACCC, CSIRO, Universities, hospitals, Howard's government, your welfare cheque, the survival of the agrarian socialists... all paid for out of COMMUNITY TAXES! not private investment, not private ownership or control.
Get a clue, Cleetus.
There's a simple explanation for that:
