There you go. They even have a Minister for Finance and Deregulation, but the track record of the government has been nothing short of atrocious on that front. The level of additional red tape imposed on businesses across Australia under this government is unprecedented.

This bill would require any private sector supplier to any government agency to be prepared to undergo a full investigation by the Auditor-General at any time. It is our view that this would place an unnecessary added cost and compliance burden on businesses across Australia. Under Labor over the last four years, we have already seen the greatest growth of government in our lives. That includes the Whitlam era. This government is worse than the Whitlam government when it comes to increasing the size of government and its reach into people's lives.
