The cutting red tape call really got inverted didn't it.

The poor old individual's wrapped in more layers than ever and the state's unleashed itself.

Was meant to be the other way around.

What's up Binoy?

Do you see the possibility of a few thousand nice well paid bureaucrat jobs being lost to streamlining.

Got to find somewhere to fit into the system, all those useless arts graduates now haven't we.

The extradition sagas are both legendary time and money consuming, as is the villains/paedophiles abilty use every known method/legal remedy/bogus medicine, to avoid their day in court! As far as I know arms are not allowed in courts! To suggest otherwise, is blatantly dishonest! As is, I believe, the seriously skewed article

Streamlining is our remedy for these traitors and paedophiles, etc! And seriously overdue, as is the new space-age, covertly deployable, double barrel, lie detector test that would put many/most of these bogus claims to bed! And allow the genuinely innocent to walk!

And looking further afield into countries beset by political instability, where the military’s power has usurped Democratic authority for its own powerful advantage, the watering down of oversight has served to entrench dictatorship.

A couple more instances of the dangers of reduced red tape are mandatory sentencing which has stripped traditional legal rights of the individual to a fair trial .
Another example of bad policy was the NT intervention of aboriginal communities Under the guise of community support. This act was a gross injustice.
