‘Prime Minister Tony Abbott has placed the abolition of the charity regulator, the ACNC (Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission) on the top of his repeal day hit list describing the process as the biggest bonfire of regulations in the country’s history’ writes the Pro Bono news website post ACNC In Repeal Day Bonfire. Social Services minister Kevin Andrews has introduced a Two-stage Plan to Abolish ACNC, removing ‘unnecessary regulatory control’ and directing the sector to ‘self-manage’.
9500 other ‘unproductive regulations’ are also to be abolished. Hey, who needs government?
