The government appears to have used 'growing red tape' as the reason for not agreeing to many of the recommendations. The South Australian Industry Advocate is on the Hansard record as stating that industry feedback on the South Australian approach, around which the committee's suggested approach was based, provides a consistent model, simplicity and no additional burden to industry. Did the government consult with the South Australian Industry Advocate before coming to this erroneous growing red-tape conclusion, and if not why not?
