'Unlike any other organisation of its size, government is never held liable for efficiency, nobody ever questions government for "return on investment", even though it's the largest one all of us make.'

Seriously? Every time there's an election the right-wing parties promise they're going to balance the books or pay for taxes by cutting the fat from all those inefficient government services. It's their mantra, and they fail to do so every time they get elected.
