With the increasing privatisation of government services comes the increasing distrust in public servants.  A Survey from the Conversation in 2016 states that 73% of Australian participants agree that privatisation only benefits the corporate sector. So what does this mean?

People want a public sector that is there to serve the public.

Eva Cox suggests that privatisation is the root cause for society’s distrust in the government. “Privatisation isn’t working, if we are going to develop trust we have to get government back to the fact that it is there to serve the people and not the corporate sector,” she said.
