The rules are hard to decipher, it's true - they need to fix that. An accepted recommendation of the Forsyth report is that there should be a plainly-written version of the regs, and I hope they get that out quickly.
However, this kind of conspiracy theory talk -
if things continue as they are, there won't be an industry in Australia to regulate.
But then again perhaps that's the governments aim.
are you serious, that any government wants to kill something that contributes greatly to tourism, an extremely important sector of the economy?
Why then is there no mention of removing every unnecessary cost?
You mean this bit?

OK, he doesn't say 'remove existing unnecessary costs' directly, but the intent is there, surely?
