I like your moxie and I also agree Australia is an over-regulated racket... but I'm also glad my neighbours aren't mass farming frogs or cockroaches in my suburb without talking to the council first.
My brother had a neighbour build a crematorium next door in NZ; not an industrial or rural area, just the suburbs, no permits, no consultation, no notification. Very entrepreneurial. They got shut down but the flip side of "you can just do things" is surprises like a plume of smoke and the smell of burning corpses when you step outside.
I am hopeful that Australia and New Zealand come to their senses like Canada has had to because of the mad king…
With friends like the United States, China, and Russia, they’re gonna have to decide to stop coasting and for once try to move to the front of the line.
