Wouldn't you want some sort of lobbying against government outsourcing IT /

And that's what an economist (and I) call "rent seeking" - I'm asking the

Lobbyists are always going to keep themselves busy but that just counters
the relentless lobbying by welfare groups for non-economy boosting
government spending. Unless youre the big 4 banks or Coles or Woolworths

for "z"
