Yes, I've been saying for years. I'm happy to pay more tax if it means it gets spent on the things that matter. Just need confidence that the money gets into the right hands and we're not just paying tax to pay a bunch of people to sit around and talk about things and then dismiss any good ideas that come out of it.

Or worse, our tax money being siphoned off by private provider leeches positioned between the government and the service, delivering shitty services because they're really there to make a profit.
