So, it's the Government that should change, makes sense to me /s

Or, you know, savage penalties for these shenanigans and bringing back a public service, seeing as, no it's not cheaper to outsource in point of fact.

I think PwC should have had to return whatever they'd charged the government for consultancy, as well as a massive fine on top of that. Governments around the world need to start giving penalties to corporations that actually deter them from doing the wrong thing.
