Back to Angus Taylor and he is promising that a Coalition government, would, *gasp* SLASH RED AND GREEN TAPE.

All those pesky environmental regulations that barely regulate the environment are just holding up fossil fuel projects too much Taylor says.

He wants a new body in Treasury called ‘Investment Australia’ and “it’s legislated powers will include calling powers to hold agencies to account for bureaucratic delays on significant projects for our nation, implementing pathways for escalation to cabinet.”

Greg Jeicho:

Hard not to see this as a way to gut even more any environmental regulations, because the key “projects for our nation” are invariably mining ones – and certainly those are the ones Dutton and Taylor most care about.

Am guessing protecting the Murujuga rock art will just be one aspect that is framed as “bureaucratic delay”
