I suppose the answer to Peetwo's question "why scrap the twice yearly red tape repeal day"? brings us to consider two facts:-
1. No one noticed that it had died.
2. There was no political willpower to to make it happen in the first place, so it was never going to be an honest attempt.
ScoMo is off to London on the taxpayer, his excuse is to see how the Poms do affordable housing, not joking. Don't mind that land use is actually in the jurisdiction of State governments, or that the Poms invented the enterprise strangling system of land use zoning. But to SMs trip plans, a bit smarter way to lock in junket money before the fact, probably after watching Sussan's failed attempt at justifying her tripping to the Gold Coast after the fact. They all do it, well almost all. This endemic behavior is of course well known to the bureaucracy who simply follow suit, honesty takes a back seat.
The Commonwealth monopoly corporates, CASA just one example, hell bent on accumulating more power, higher salaries, more regs, more enquiries, more consultants (former colleagues or employees). More lobbyists needed because increasingly nothing happens unless ticked off by government, read the bureaucracy. Ministers hide behind the corporates mistakenly believing they cost government less money. The whole idea is to deflect criticism by denying responsibility. It truly is a poor state of affairs and there are no real improvements in the offing, sorry to say.
