• The "private sector" of the economy is the voluntary sector, the "public sector" is the coercive sector. – Henry Hazlitt

Needed: Bonfire of the quangos

What is a quango?

It is an acronym for 'quasi non-governmental organisation' as well as the (sometimes well-meaning and sometimes sadistic) people who work in them. These are organisations that are funded by government with legislative charters, but whom are "independent" and often deal with left-wing cover issues like so-called "Human Rights", "Environment", "Racism", "Sexism" etc. You get the picture.

Britain is supposedly having a "bonfire of the quangos" at the moment. However it ridiculously mild.

I propose we have a bonfire in Australia. In fact, why not bonfire the whole government?
