Podcasts about privatisation

National has kicked off 2025 by diving headfirst into plans for economic growth – and it wasn’t long until Act threw in their two cents. Party leader David Seymour made privatisation a key focus of his State of the Nation speech. And while Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he doesn’t want to sell anything off this term – he's suggested it could be campaigned on in next year’s election. It’s a road that New Zealand has gone down before, with the likes of Bolger, Shipley, and Key selling everything from banks to energy companies in the 80s and 90s, and only a few state-owned enterprises remain. So, what could be on the chopping block – and would anyone actually want to buy it? Today on The Front Page, we put those questions to Greg Smith, Head of Retail at Devon Funds Management.

So the word of the week was privatisation. It became a debate because David Seymour said we should do it now in his state of the nation speech on Monday. So obviously the media asked the Prime Minister want he thinks of the junior coalition partner's thoughts. And Christopher Luxon vacillated, he gave the cautious political answer trying not to upset anyone. It's something we might look at, but not without a mandate, so we might campaign on it in 2 years time. So it won't happen for two years, or maybe more, so don't worry about. We're cool. It was an answer so convoluted that obviously the media asked more questions. And then of course the people said bloody media, trying to stir up trouble with their leftist bias. But it was the Prime Minister's fault for faffing about trying not to upset anyone or more specifically the centre left and nationalists who hate it. Well that didn't work. Why couldn't he just say good idea, we agree, next time. Because we all know he agrees with the idea, and we all know his supporters agree. But he didn't, because he's like every other politician who's values blow in whichever wind they think the electorate is blowing. Politicians who don't just say yes but nor do they say no. They say maybe which is even worse. They all do it, ask Chris Hipkins about capital gains tax. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has suggested National may take asset sales to the next election but denies there are any immediate plans for a sell-off. Act's David Seymour says it's time to debate whether some government assets should be sold off if they aren't delivering returns. Economic Growth Minister Nicola Willis on Monday said Treasury had identified some areas where entities were not delivering “as well as it should” and more would be said in the future. Infrastructure NZ Chief Executive Nick Leggett says New Zealand is falling behind on infrastructure and asset sales are needed to bring us back in line with other countries and improve assets we currently have.

Act leader David Seymour used his state of the nation speech last week to call for a discussion on privatisation - including of the health system. Seymour told his supporters New Zealanders need to get past the "squeamishness of privatisation", and suggested the health system could be privatised, with the government funding medical insurance for individuals. Responding to the suggestions, Public Service Association acting national secretary Fleur Fitzsimons said private healthcare systems haven't worked overseas.

Despite not being the leader of the country, David Seymour has delivered his State of the Nation address. The ACT Party leader said New Zealander's need to stop being scared of privatisation, look at selling government assets, and change the way the country funds education and health. Is this the solution to the downfalls of New Zealand's healthcare system? Chair of the General Practice Owners Association Dr Angus Chambers talks to Andrew Dickens about what such a change would mean for Kiwis. LISTEN ABOVE.

Syria's new interim government wants to privatise parts of its previously state-run economy in a bid to draw foreign investment, but says it needs international sanctions lifted to get the country back on its feet. Also in this edition: China tries again to prop up its struggling stock market, and the EU sets a new record for renewable energy production.

David Seymour is making it clear the country can't just wait around for change. The ACT party leader is delivering his State of the Nation address in Auckland today. Our newsroom understands he will use his speech to ask whether New Zealand should move towards privatisation in the health and education sectors. Seymour told Ryan Bridge it's time to be asking the bigger questions. He says the government owns $570 billion worth of assets and yet can't afford the core infrastructure to build more homes for the next generation.

Yesterday (6th January 2025) the Labour government announced of a significant increase in the use of private healthcare providers to address NHS waiting lists. While some may argue this is a pragmatic response to backlogs, the implications of this policy confirm a deeper, more troubling shift.A Pattern of PrivatisationI have long pointed to the Labour Party's pro-privatisation stance, but this warning has all too often fallen on deaf ears, both of Labour activists and some voters. I can't tell you how many times I have been at hustings or meetings about the NHS where people simply don't believe that Labour, the self-styled ‘party of the NHS' has anything but the best of intentions for it and keeping it public.However, this is not the case. Even under Corbyn (who supported the Bill as a back bencher) the Labour Party was whipped to abstain on the NHS Reinstatement Bill, which would have put removing profits from NHS service into law.Wes Streeting, the Shadow Health Secretary, has consistently shown sympathy towards private healthcare, and the Labour Party has received sizeable donations from private health companies. Yesterday's announcement underscores a fundamental issue: the NHS is being incrementally handed over to private firms, under the guise of efficiency and backlog reduction.This is not a short-term solution. Once private providers become even more entrenched in NHS operations, they are unlikely to leave. NHS money—already stretched to its limit—is being funnelled into private pockets, with no new funding in sight. For those who argue that private providers will simply vanish once waiting lists are cleared, the reality is far from it. Their presence will likely expand, creating a system where profit motives increasingly dictate healthcare provision.The Staff Shortage ProblemOne of the key flaws in this approach is the misconception that private hospitals can offer additional capacity. Private healthcare providers do not conjure up new staff; they largely rely on NHS-trained consultants, many of whom divide their time between public and private work. As private workloads increase, NHS capacity inevitably suffers. The problem isn't a lack of facilities but a chronic shortage of staff—a situation exacerbated by diverting personnel to more lucrative private roles.Skimming Profits from Routine ProceduresEven if we were to assume that private healthcare provides genuine extra capacity, this policy creates another financial burden for the NHS. Private providers typically focus on straightforward, high-volume procedures like hip and knee replacements—the very services where NHS hospitals can generate a modest surplus to offset the losses from more complex and costly treatments, such as emergency care or cancer therapies.By outsourcing routine operations, the NHS loses this vital revenue stream, making it even harder to sustain essential but less ‘profitable' services. The result? NHS hospitals will struggle even more, while private firms profit.Shiny Private Facilities vs. Crumbling NHS InfrastructureIt's easy to see why patients might prefer private hospitals, with their modern facilities. But this shouldn't be a choice forced upon them due to the government's neglect of NHS infrastructure. My partner works in a typical, tired and crumbling NHS hospital where wards are sometimes closed because of plumbing disasters—a problem that could easily be resolved with proper investment in capital projects. Yet, funding for such improvements is sorely lacking.Instead of funnelling money into private hospitals, the government should be investing in NHS facilities, expanding capacity, and addressing the maintenance backlog. Shiny private hospitals might appear appealing in the short term, but they represent a long-term erosion of the NHS's ability to provide universal, equitable care.A Bold Solution: Nationalise Private HospitalsThe Labour government claims there is no alternative to private sector involvement, but history tells us otherwise. When the NHS was founded, private hospitals were brought into public ownership to ensure universal healthcare. If we truly want to expand NHS capacity, the solution is simple: nationalise private hospitals and integrate them into the public healthcare system.This approach would immediately bolster NHS capacity without diverting funds to profit-driven providers. Anything less is a tacit admission that the government prioritises private profit over public health.What Can You Do?To combat this privatisation agenda, take action now. Write to your Labour MP or local Labour Party and express your opposition to private sector outsourcing. Make it clear that their stance on this issue will influence your vote. Even if you've never voted Labour, they won't know—what matters is the pressure from constituents.Additionally, consider supporting a party that unequivocally opposes NHS privatisation. As a former Green Party candidate, I believe the Greens are the only party in England committed to removing private firms from the NHS and restoring it as a public service.Your vote is your voice—use it to demand a healthcare system that prioritises people over profit.The future of the NHS depends on our collective action. If we fail to stand against these policies now, privatisation will continue, and the core principles of our healthcare system will be eroded beyond recognition.Vote for what you believe in, and fight for a truly public NHS.

L'émission 28 minutes du 20/11/2024 Face à l'épuisement des ressources naturelles, Philippe Bihouix défend la sobriété Les ingénieurs sont nombreux à penser la crise écologique. Philippe Bihouix en fait partie et publie la bande dessinée “Ressources. Un défi pour l'humanité” (éditions Casterman) avec Vincent Perriot. Selon lui, face à la consommation exponentielle des ressources terrestres, la seule solution est de choisir la sobriété, de produire des objets plus durables et de faire preuve de “techno-discernement”. Un positionnement à l'inverse des cornucopiens, incarnés aujourd'hui par des hommes comme Jeff Bezos ou Elon Musk (que l'on croise dans la bande dessinée). Tous deux rêvent de coloniser l'espace pour permettre à l'humanité de rester sur une voie consumériste.  Grèves à la SNCF : va-t-on vers une privatisation du rail ? Les quatre syndicats des travailleurs de la SNCF ont appelé à une grève de 24 heures à partir de ce jeudi 21 novembre, alors qu'un premier appel à une grève illimitée à partir du 11 décembre avait déjà été formulé par ces mêmes syndicats. Ce potentiel blocage inquiète les usagers, à l'approche des fêtes de fin d'année. Les raisons de ces grèves sont multiples. Celles invoquées par les cheminots concernent le démantèlement de Fret SNCF, leader du transport ferroviaire désormais ouvert à la concurrence et définitivement scindé en deux nouvelles sociétés début 2025. L'autre inquiétude des cheminots concerne la fin du monopole de la SNCF sur le marché du transport de voyageurs. Des lignes comme Paris-Lyon, Marseille-Madrid ou encore Lyon-Barcelone sont assurées par les compagnies italiennes et espagnoles Trenitalia et Renfe. Enfin, Xavier Mauduit nous raconte l'histoire du "Petit Prince" d'Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, livre de fiction le plus traduit au monde et Marie Bonnisseau nous parle de combats de catch qui prennent désormais place dans des églises britanniques pour qu'elles regagnent en popularité.   28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

La dissolution a porté un coup d'arrêt au projet de fusion des médias publics défendu par le gouvernement Attal, mais les législatives anticipées pourraient précipiter l'arrivée au pouvoir du Rassemblement National qui projette leur privatisation. Le mois dernier, les députés réunis en commission approuvaient le principe d'une fusion de l'audiovisuel public (France Télévisions, Radio France, l'INA, France 24, RFI et MCD) à l'horizon 2026. La proposition de loi défendue par la ministre de la Culture Rachida Dati devait être examinée à l'Assemblée nationale dans les tout prochains jours, du 24 au 26 juin. Las ! Comme tous les autres, le projet a été enterré, balayé par la dissolution, décidée par Emmanuel Macron au soir de la défaite de son camp aux Européennes. Mais le statu quo s'annonce de courte durée. Le Rassemblement national pourrait arriver au pouvoir pour la première fois à l'issue des élections législatives anticipées du 30 juin et du 7 juillet. Jordan Bardella, le président du RN, a confirmé à plusieurs reprises que s'il devenait Premier ministre, la privatisation de l'audiovisuel public ferait partie de son programme, même si cela « ne se ferait pas en 24 heures ».« L'idée est de privatiser l'audiovisuel public mais de conserver à la fois RFI et France 24 parce qu'ils représentent la France à l'étranger, France Info qui est une chaîne d'information et les radios France Bleu qui sont les radios locales », a précisé Damien Soumi candidat du RN dans la Somme interrogé sur France Bleu Picardie. Sébastien Chenu, vice-président du RN avance même le chiffre de « trois milliards d'euros » de recettes pour l'État tiré de cette vente. Un chiffre qui ne s'appuie sur aucun plan concret et que les différents experts des médias jugent parfaitement fantaisiste. Reste que la menace d'une vente « à la découpe » est prise au sérieux par les différents syndicats des médias concernés qui se sont mobilisés. Une menace prise au sérieuxSophie Binet la secrétaire générale de la CGT l'a aussi évoqué au moment de donner pour la première fois une consigne de vote à ses adhérents : « On sait qu'un certain nombre de patrons, à commencer par Vincent Bolloré, seront ravis de pouvoir racheter et mettre au pas Radio France et France Télévisions. » L'ombre de l'homme d'affaires, puissant patron de Canal+ plane sur les législatives. Ses médias C8, CNews, Europe 1 ou encore le journal du dimanche font ouvertement campagne pour « l'union des droites » entre LR (tendance Ciotti) et l'extrême droite (Rassemblement National et Reconquête).Le projet inquiète aussi les médias privés qui craignent de devoir partager avec de nouveaux acteurs une manne publicitaire qui stagne depuis des années. Les marchés financiers ne s'y sont pas trompés : dans les jours qui ont suivi la dissolution les cours de bourse de TF1 et M6 se sont effondrés. À l'inverse de ce qui s'était passé en 2008 quand le président Nicolas Sarkozy avait annoncé la fin de la publicité en soirée sur France Télévisions, ce qui avait été perçu à l'époque comme un cadeau à son ami Martin Bouygues, propriétaire de TF1, mais aussi, déjà, à un autre ami du « parrain » de la droite française : Vincent Bolloré, à la tête de l'agence de pub Havas.À lire aussiVincent Bolloré et son empire médiatique, un tremplin pour l'extrême droite en France?Une privatisation, même partielle, de l'audiovisuel public en France serait une première en Europe, même si le RN n'est pas le seul à défendre cette idée. En Argentine le président d'extrême droite Javier Milei l'avait également inscrit à son programme. Au Royaume-Uni Boris Johnson lorsqu'il était Premier ministre avait tenté de vendre la télévision publique Channel 4, jugée hostile aux conservateurs… avant d'être lui-même contraint à la démission et que le projet ne soit abandonné. Au sein des médias publics en France, l'inquiétude dépasse la seule question de la privatisation.« L'extrême droite préfère toujours prendre le contrôle des médias publics que de les démanteler »« L'extrême droite préfère toujours prendre le contrôle des médias publics, qui sont des outils de communication extraordinaires, plutôt que de les démanteler », explique à Euractiv l'historien des médias Alexis Lévrier. « C'est ce que l'on observe en Hongrie et en Italie ». À Rome le gouvernement de Giorgia Meloni a récemment imposé à la Rai de diffuser des messages gouvernementaux sans aucune médiation journalistique. On pourrait ajouter l'exemple de la Pologne. Après sa victoire aux législatives, l'une des premières mesures du nouveau premier ministre Donald Tusk a d'ailleurs été de renvoyer tout l'état-major de l'audiovisuel public, considérant que les ultra-conservateurs au pouvoir pendant 10 ans l'avaient transformé en outil de propagande.La menace est d'autant plus aigüe que l'extrême droite pourrait arriver aux responsabilités en France à un moment où les médias publics sont particulièrement vulnérables. En 2022, Emmanuel Macron a supprimé la redevance, l'impôt qui la finançait et qui garantissait son indépendance financière sur le long terme. Sans la remplacer. Une taxe sur la TVA compense bien les pertes de revenus pour les médias publics, mais seulement jusqu'à la fin de l'année 2024. Après cela, leur financement se fera au bon vouloir des gouvernements en place. Le projet de loi sur la fusion de l'audiovisuel public visait aussi à lui trouver un nouveau financement pérenne. Mais le président français a dissous l'Assemblée nationale avant d'avoir pris le temps de réparer une faille qu'il a lui-même créée.
