• Over $200,000 Per Boot-Camp Participant

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 21 05:40:46 2024
    Saw the figures on NatActIrst’s “Boot Camp” pilot today? Turns out the cost was about $227,000 per participant. And of the 10, one reoffended
    within weeks of “graduating”. Lasting impact, much?

    For comparison, as I recall, it costs about $100,000 to put one inmate in
    jail.

    For a year, of course. I don’t think the “Boot Camp” was that long.

    With other costs, that first �Boot Camp� cost $52 million. Perhaps it
    was exempt from the Seymour policy of stringent cost / benefit
    analyses and cost estimates before money was spent . . .

    Irrelevant. Seymour's concerns are about ramping up and ongoing costs. A brand new venture like boot camps obviously has start up costs. Even a schoolboy would know that.
    That is not an endorsement or otherwise of boot camps.

    So what price do you put on the wellbeing of our young people. $5 each or $1,000.000 each. I am sure you have a figure in mind. Do tell.

    That is an interesting concept you are proposing, Tony. Which young
    people did you have in mind for getting a handout? Do you think the
    current government would be prepared to go along with your proposal?

    I made no proposal, I asked a question., Please consider the previous suggestions that you get some English language training.

    Your question appeared to have no relevance to Boot Camps, no
    relevance to any government policy, no apparent relevance to young
    people, but a brain-fart of your own making. If you really want an
    answer to a question you need to define just what you are talking
    about.

    Ah Lawrence, I see that you cannot answer. It would seem reasonable to therefore assume that you do not value the wellbeing of young people at all. Is that correct?

    It was a clear question, I cannot be held responsibe for your terrible English, non-existent comprehension and abusiveness.
    I strongly suggest that you get help.
    I made no proposal, merely asked a valid question, and you immediately climbed in with an idiotic and unthinking response.
    Questions are not poposlas in English, perhaps in whatever your native tongue they are the same - is that maybe the explanation for your failure?

    Defining the question is irrelevant as Rich would not understand it. Or not wish ti understand it.

    You are off topic - spending $227,000 per person attending a boot camp
    is giving the appearance of profligate waste and inadequate planning -
    ACT and Seymour have failed again with seeking to rein in spending.

    I am not at all off topic. I responded to Lawrence who started the topic, and therefore by definition I am completely on topic.
    So shove your childish taunts and go back to your nursery.
    My question is valid, Lawrence did not answer it therefore I am perfectly within my rights to assume he does not put a value on the wellbeing of our young people. And clearly neither do you. Your shared politics do not include the wellbeing of anybody let alone children.
    You have made a fool of yourself in this thread, yet again!
