What is your worst Red Tape experience?

Opposition launches campaign for nominations. Small business owners are being urged to nominate the worst, most idiotic, piece of red tape they have experienced as part of a campaign launched this week by the Leader of the Opposition Malcolm Turnbull, and Shadow Small Business Minister Steven Ciobo. As part of its target to reduce red tape in Australia to the lowest level of all developed economies, the Coalition is on the hunt for the most diabolical piece of red tape nationally. Mr Ciobo says that the last thing small business needs right now is “mindless, bureaucratic red tape”, when it is grappling with cash flow stress, industrial relations changes and the toughest lending conditions since the credit crisis of the early 1960s herVoice commends the Coalition’s initiative and will be waiting impatiently for the announcement of the winning experience, but in the interests of balanced reporting has to ask – which party was it that implemented most of this current  “mindless, bureaucratic red tape” during its term in Government? Enough said. Click here to nominate your experience,  or tell us about it in your response to this post and we’ll include it in our submission.
