While some Crown Corporations are profitable, most require public funds to operate, and often require financial assistance from the government, which ultimately increases overall government spending and deficit. The increase of public needs

Representing its largest cost, lower oil prices as a result of oversupply and lack of demand have reduced Qantas’ fuel costs by $597 million since the previous year (O’Sullivan 2015a).
