Australia: 3000 permits to build a mine.
‘..What has definitely grown though is government imposed costs – regulation and compliance.
Deloitte recently calculated that regulation is costing Australia an incredible $250 billion a year…. They estimate the red tape industry unproductively employs more than 1 million people nationwide now – and consider this – compliance has become Australia’s fastest growing sector!’
Doesn’t Australia have a conservative government
Does not a Parliamentary form of government have rule by the majority
Then why does not the Government fire bureaucrats and close down agencies stopping free enterprise
Unions.
Unions. Our effing government uses the European Union as it’s go-to all encompassing excuse. People of the world wake the truck up! Gotta keep that dollar moving, every time a dollar moves it raises revenue. Gotta spend that revenue, let’s use it to employ people to raise more revenue. Modern economics, gimme a break, FFS.
