Response to the ANAO performance audit - implementing the deregulation program: cutting red tape
08 September 2015
The Business Council is strongly supportive of the government’s work to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of regulation, including the deregulation program.
A critical enabler of efficient regulatory outcomes is a proper process that carefully considers the impact of new regulatory proposals, and continually assesses the effectiveness of regulation that is already on the books.
This submission focuses on the whole-of-government processes underpinning deregulation and regulation impact assessment. We suggest these processes have greatly improved regulatory outcomes but need to be strengthened, to avoid eroding the benefits of deregulation.
