We need to invest in care and the common good, not in private profiteering

Jennifer interviews David Hayward, emeritus professor of public policy at RMIT University, about the need to invest in caring work, the support sector and the common good.David describes the failure of privatisation in areas such as aged care and childcare, with many private companies using government revenue for property development rather than good quality support!In addition, investment of public money in the private profit model has led to under-investment in caring and support work, and precarious, casualised and underpaid work.This work is mainly done by women. David finishes the interview with some ideas about what we need to do to remedy this situation
