(1)–(2)
Here we go again, on a mission against Serco and against privatisation of
anything—any aspect of government services—notwithstanding the
fact that the people over there were the ones who started the privatisation
agenda of our hospitals. But, that said, we are currently not in any
discussions with Serco with respect to privatisation of any aspects of police
services or operations.
