Grassroots Labor members say they are “deeply concerned” by the mooted sell-off of the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
Grassroots Labor members have issued a please-explain to Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas over the mooted privatisation of the state’s births, deaths and marriages registry.
The Allan government has avoided using the word “privatisation” when referring to previous ventures under its watch, such as the privatisation of some VicRoads services or the lease of the Port of Melbourne.Ministers instead prefer the term “public-private partnership” to differentiate temporary revenue-raising measures from the permanent and complete sell-offs under the Kennett government.
In late July, the Victorian ALP’s policy co-ordination committee also condemned any whole or part-privatisation of Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria. The spokesman said existing joint-venture partnerships were generating strong outcomes for Victoria, with the VicRoads consortium adding $7.9 billion to the Victorian Future Fund.
