Same thing will happen as whenever any public service is privatised. A bunch of frontline staff who actually do the work will be made redundant and will have to apply for a smaller pool of jobs in the private company who takes over, doing the same job they did before but more of it and with less pay and lower staffing levels, thus providing a poorer quality service to the public. All the upper management in the department will have made very sure that they keep their government jobs because they're very important people and they will transfer sideways into a different government department and mismanage that one too. The private company who takes over will do a ****-poor job because it's run by accountants with no experience in providing a public service. The private company will also somehow cost the taxpayers twice as much while providing half the service. I've seen it time and again. Private sector efficiency is a myth.
