Yes it is true. At the moment my life is pretty much an episode of Yes Minister. As most readers know I am presently going through the process of hopefully moving into social housing. Everyday I sign consent forms to give my consent to consent forms that I have already signed. I am drowning in red tape. I feel I could start a new career as a bureaucrat in Canberra in charge of making sure all the consent forms are signed. I think it helps that I have a sense of humour about it, otherwise it would really do my head in..Australia the lucky country drowning in red tape and with a form for everything in life. Beautiful country but terrible paperwork.
