this topic disturbs me greatly
I find it extremely worrying that the melbourne county court , where i have to appear in two weeks is a privately owned company , solely to make profit .
How can people expect a fair trial when the sole purpose of this organization and its subsidiaries is, to make money and lots of it .
..courtrooms for hire, says a great deal about the judicial system here in victoria .
...are judges and magistrates for hire also....police for hire ?
seems they all have a price for their services
...they also protect their commercial operation with G4S and ISS private mercanaries ..

About Challenger
Established in 1985, Challenger Limited is a large Australian financial institution listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
Our business is dedicated to providing safe, reliable and high-performing fixed income products to a wide range of institutional, superannuation and retail clients.
Challenger's annuity and annuity-like offerings are unique in the marketplace. They are protected by the capital and income guarantee of our prudentially-regulated life company, yet also offer attractive rates of return that often exceed those offered by bank term deposits and investment-grade bond funds.
Challenger's annuities are commonly used by institutions, retail customers and financial advisers to:
- Provide stable, regular retirement income that is payable yearly, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly
- Invest cash securely for the medium to long-term (up to 50 years)
- Diversify from other secure investments such as bank term deposits
