Four Corners

Public Safety Private Profit (1997x16)

:

By David Hardaker. This program investigates the privatisation by the Kennett Government of the dispatch system for Victoria's emergency services. Intergraph, a company with ambitious plans for Australia, won the contract, but as reporter David Hardaker reports due process was ignored. From the beginning, the Intergraph privatisation has been a shambles. It is the core of emergency services, but sometimes the system doesn't work.
