There ARE no 'green tape' laws. if you think there is some wrong with making sure people don't boil in summer, freeze their tits off in winter and spend 1000s on power trying to reduce the health risk caused by their homes, you are simply dreadful, ignorant human beings.
how bout NO.

Appropos of nothing...what happened to federal payments for bushfire victims?
Environmental laws are there for everyone
Sounds like clean coal, non existent
A senior member of the the community has called 'BS' on Sky News
'Green tape' oh do FO !
NSW Libs have already increased land clearing by 1300% since coming into power. How much more land clearing do they need?
Matt Keane will be having conniptions at the very thought.
Oh, which one of your developer mates wanted this article to help get around existing legislation to enrich himself at the expense of fire-ravaged communities?
'Green tape' is there to ensure a safe community. Without it has the potential to make the situation worse for future management of bushfire and hazard management worse.
Where would these low caste legal types get a job in the public service without red tape. HR departments need to wake up a law degree is useless.
'Green Tape' is totally not a thing. Green tape does not cost the economy or hinder development, it merely protects what needs to be protected and should, if anything, be much, much stronger.
Not before time. And where's all the donated money ?
Green politics is tying people’s hands.

I’m not a fan of Trump. But Biden is a puppet of China when he was VP. He agrees with China and not intend to make China accountable and eventually national security will be at risk. JoeBiden realDonaldTrump lol. What a moron realDonaldTrump Why he would keep standing against C after the election?
