It wasn't just the Commonwealth Govt that supported private contractors. In NSW the LNP got rid of ALL public services that catered to the disabled.

The attitude of of the LNP is the free markets create competition, reducing costs.

I have yet to see that free market competition actually work to reduce prices.

I have .. but .. often works better for goods than services, there has to be some rational and discoverable basis for price comparison and it’s usually in “naturally competitive”markets — not concocted ones that can be gamed.

Making it quite unlikely to work for social service provisioning. 🤔🙄

It doesn't but it's what politicians tell the gullible public. LNP, more so than the ALP, care more about big business than ordinary Australians.

Anything that has been privatised has cost us, including our Govts more!
