I do agree with Creampuff on his point, that the government really just doesn't care. Government Ministers do not like to work, especially the kind of work which involves getting their hands dirty. There are to many working studies to be enjoyed in foreign lands, taxpayer funded fiddles and excessive salary portfolios that need to be managed, not to mention allocating bonus money into future investments, plus the time it takes to manage your super fund.
Combine that with corporate lunches, public events, freebies and getting your family and friends in to a 6 figure salaried position in your department and there simply is not enough time to deal with silly regulations, pesky Senators, people championing safety and most certainly the IOS!
Now I'm off to go and food Creamy's chooks!
