Responding to Queensland businesses caught in $15 billion of red tape
It is glaringly obvious that government and associated bureaucracy is to business like a bad dream when you feel you are trying to run, but you are up to your knee’s in mud, making progress all but impossible.
Then, when you wake up you realise it was only a bad dream, but now you are awake the reality is that overzealous politicians and their bureaucrats have you in a real struggle against an ever increasing time-consuming costly burden of regulation compliance with endless rules and that impede progress, much like trying to run in deep.
You are dealing with costly compliance regulations which to most businesses can make progress near impossible.
The excessive cost of housing is directly caused by a lack of housing … And a lack of housing is primarily caused by excess bureaucracy and taxes, including taxes by any names.
Government should be working for the benefit of the people, not the people working for the benefit of government, bureaucrats and their enforcers.

Responding to ‘Gutted’ family’s outrage over teen killer’s sentence

Responding to City lifestyle with village vibes – the Brisbane precincts with a captivating community feel
I hope Bulimba’s old cinema is still there and also the Anglican Church at the end of Oxford Street. Loved them both when I lived there many years ago.
