This is simply not true and just something permies make up.

Yes to be honest I've been treated far better and been able to make much bigger changes within code and organisations as a contractor than I ever could as a permanent person. The money is nice but it's just a bonus to being able to build great things.

Same here, but my problem is that you don't have the opportunity to learn things on contract jobs.

Company doesn't invest in your ability to learn and adapt, it only invests in your ability to solve that specific problem. In my experience.
