| Jan 31, 2023 at 12:47 | comment | added | TylerDurden | I don’t think anyone suggested it should be privatised. And why does anything matter? It could just be interesting. | |
| Jan 31, 2023 at 12:09 | comment | added | Ian Kemp | Why does it matter if the court system is profitable or not? It's a public service and public services aren't intended to be profitable, they're intended to serve the public good. That doesn't mean that waste should be permitted, but it does mean that making an argument for privatising public services on the fact that they aren't profitable is nonsensical. | |

| Jan 31, 2023 at 4:36 | comment | added | Acccumulation | I think this is a Politics SE question. While it deals with the law, it deals with the logistics surrounding the law, rather than the law itself. | |
| Jan 30, 2023 at 23:06 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | As Trish suggested, how could you possibly think and country's Courts broke even, let alone made a profit? It's true that a tiny number of fines of hundreds of millions of dollars have been handed down… and how many, do you suppose? | |

Removing the word "meads" from the end.

| Jan 29, 2023 at 4:09 | comment | added | Trish | "fairly profitable"? Look around how many people work in a single courtroom. Judge, Bailiff, Stenograph are the absolute minimum but you generally see some more clerks, and bailiffs. Wages alone are eating several thousands for a single hour of hearings, and high profile cases haemorage wages or work time. | |
