Yep, as we have said before, you can delegate responsibility, but not accountability. They make their lives easier by giving the responsibility to the private sector, but in the end they are responsible for making the sure the private sector maintain standards.Yes, but the government gets the blame in the end.
That's probably not a concern for Jeff Kennet or Joan Kirner or Steve Bracks who got out before the manure hit the propellor.
So long as property can revive in Perth, everything we be OK?A bit of stamp duty relief, to kickstart W.A's anemic property market, I wouldn't hold my breath on it working.
