From the government’s point of view, the consultations are a nuisance, but they must be done. From my experience, the outcomes are often decided before seeking the public’s opinion.

I asked my contact at the RA for the criteria to cancel the offshore wind farm debacle. Cost, environmental damage, public outrage, etc. Never received a reply. The consultation should have been scrapped for several reasons. We can only hope no vendors show any interest.

Do you mean “formality” or “publicity exercise”?

No different than believing that members of the public have the technical knowledge to meaningfully comment on complex “green energy,” electric vehicle policy, and offshore wind farms. The decisions have already been made; the consultations are a formality.

“seeking public feedback on proposed technical amendments to the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 and a minor revision to the Corporate Income Tax Agency Act 2024″

Does the PLP Government really believe that members of the public have the technical knowledge to meaningfully comment on complex tax legislation and the workings of the Income Tax Agency?

Why is the PLP Government not “seeking public feedback” on the workings of the Post Office or the Department of Immigration?
