'on the side consulting companies'
Gladly supply proof:.................a well known manager closed the Apprentice training school (90 years of tradition!) and outsourced it to the local TAFE, claiming a $2 Million dollar saving.
Much later we find that he is on the board of that same TAFE.............
Que? Here's me all these years thinking that TAFE was part of the government education system! When did TAFE morph into the private sector.
