Red tape is costing Australia $176b a year | Sky News AustraliaPatrick Hannaford, Institute of Public Affairs research fellow \n\nExcessive government regulation is harming the economy, reducing freedom of choice and making people’s lives harder. \n\nBecoming a hairdresser in New South Wales requires approximately 1,224 hours of study and can cost $12,060. In order to open a restaurant in the same state you must fill out 48 separate forms and acquire 72 licences. \n\nThese are just a few of the regulations that make up the endless web of federal, state, and local government red tape that is costing the Australian economy $176 billion per year – the equivalent of $19,300 per household. \n\nEven kids’ birthday parties are affected, as an Adelaide mother found out when she was fined $187 for hiring a magician to entertain 14 children at her son’s birthday party in a local park. \n\nAs Jenny Barret from the City of Burnside council told ABC Radio Adelaide, members of the public must pay $185 for a permit to use the park “if [they] are going to get a third-party contractor in, such as a magician or a bouncy castle or a face painter”. This is because third-party contractors require public liability insurance. \n\nA permit is also required for people planning to hold an event with more than 60 people, and this may be reasonable. But it’s hard to see the sense in requiring a permit for a magician to entertain 14 kids at a birthday party. \n\nDoes the council think the kids will be attacked by the balloon animals or traumatised when they see a rabbit suddenly pulled out of hat? Unexpected things do happen, but if there is a need for insurance then surely it is the responsibility of the magician hiring out his services. \n\nLocal councils issuing ridiculous fines is sadly all too common. \n\nLast month A Current Affair reported that Melbourne’s Melton City Council had fined a man $1,000 for using an outdoor fire pit he had bought at Bunnings, while a Beaumaris woman received a $200 fine from Bayside Council, also in Melbourne, for only c

Greta Thunberg has been selected as 'Woke' Time Magazine's Person of the Year | Sky News AustraliaThe 'woke' Time Magazine's selection of Swedish activist Greta Thunberg as its Person of the Year is example of how 'political' and very left win the company is, according to Sky News host James Morrow. \n\nThe teenage environmentalist is the youngest youngest person selected for the honour since the tradition began in 1927.\n\nThunberg herself had admitted she was “surprised” by the decision.\n\n'But of course we all knew this [selection] was going to come down,' Mr Morrow told Sky News host Peta Credlin. \n\n'It's not the Time Magazine that we all knew and loved and grew up with 20 [or] 30-years ago, [now] it's a much different thing'. \n\n'It's a very political thing, it's very left wing, it's very woke'. \n\n\n\n\n
