What price an orange??????
No one would disagree that aviation, a transport industry, exactly as road transport or marine transport requires some form of regulation. The caveat on that proposition is that the rules should be fit for purpose, concise and achieve the outcomes they were designed for without destroying the industry they purport to regulate, to do so is self defeating.
Our aviation industry is a classic example of the result of over-regulation, but it is not alone and the cost to this country is eye-watering and I fear if something is not done sooner rather than later to reign in our bureaucrats, Australia the most secretive democracy on the planet, is on a slippery slope to third world status or beyond.
On tonights Skynews a story about a 277% increase in government charges to export oranges.
Last time I bought orange juice at Woolies I couldn't find an Australian product, it was all imported, apparently its easier and cheaper to import than to export.
Why the hell should an Australian grown orange be more heavily regulated that a Brazilian orange?
Why would an orange be regulated at all?
The mind boggles
