In my trade & business I seem to spend endless hours each week completing forms and complying with endless customer compliance issues instead of actually working on the tools.
Last week I applied for the Permits for the Anne Beadell Highway of which there are four. Two of them are covered by the same application form. On the web site it appeared to be two different permits as the area has two names, one indigenous and the other English.
One has a fee the others are free, so 3 letters in the mail and wait to receive.
Then the Canning Stock Route, that has two permits. One for wells 5 to 15 and 40 to 51 the other for the bit in the middle 16 to 39. Both were done online, paid for $50.00 and $100 and sent back immediately.
Took a few hours to work it all out and complete.
One of them I had to give the full name all the passengers with me, what for??
Seems we have gone mad with all of this and I often wonder where all this info is kept and for what purpose.
If you have ever seen an Indian rail ticket office you might know what I mean LOL.
Our life is dominated by people in offices creating all of this and achieving what? Its no surprise we as a country are struggling to be competitive in the world market place.
