  • Regulatory Review
    REGULATORY REVIEW - THE NEXT WAVE? Victor Perton MP Parliament of Victoria Chairman, Law Reform Committee Commonwealth Conference on Delegated Legislation Wellington, New Zealand - 10-13 February 1997 Foreword Mr Speaker, New Zealand friends, Commonwealth colleagues, thank you for this opportunity to participate in this conference. I was a brand new MP when the last commonwealth delegated legislation conference was held. Yesterday, Senator Bill O'Chee described me as a 'hardy veteran' in this field. As a result of my eight years experience in this field, I feel passionate about the need to provide good scrutiny regimes to protect the human and civil rights of the community. I have travelled widely and proselytised about the benefits of and best mechanisms for parliamentary scrutiny.1 The paper I offer touches upon new challenges in the field. Introduction As the 21st century looms, those in government charged with the responsibility of making regulation are under increasing pressure. This is reflected in the observation that "[t]o some business spokespeople, government interference in the marketplace is regarded as the embodiment of evil. Others adopt a more flexible approach, objecting strenuously to some forms of regulation, but tolerating, indeed, embracing, those forms of government involvement which happen to foster their own business interests."2 There is increasing pressure to improve the business environment by reducing costs and other impediments. There are increasing demands that regulations be "efficient and effective". In response, governments (or, at least, those that wish to be elected and re-elected) increasingly pledge that they will "cut red tape". However, there is a general business ignorance of what those in government are doing enough to make the regulatory process more efficient.
