MINISTRY OF COMMON SENSE: Bureaucratic blunders & nanny state mandates

Gary Hardgrave and Scott Prasser criticise Australia's new AusAlert emergency notification system, arguing that bureaucratic overreach and tech compatibility issues make it an unnecessary replacement for localised disaster management. They also condemn government over-regulation in Queensland, slamming the appointment of a "Nightlife Commissioner" and questioning why federal authorities are defunding local disaster recovery while spending on nanny-state initiatives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
