You know, the problem with the Government's lawmaking is that when it really counts, they just exempt themselves from having to follow regulatory impact analysis. One of the most important things that this Parliament could do is pass a regulatory standards bill as a commitment to New Zealanders that instead of letting laws and regulations grow like Topsy, we're actually going to follow regulatory impact analysis. That means that when this Parliament makes a law, it's going to ask and answer the question, "What is this law for? What are the costs and benefits of the law or regulation? Who pays the costs and receives the benefits? Are there other laws or regulations that already solve the same problem? Does this impinge on common law principles? Does it impair people's property rights?" If we started asking those questions, we probably wouldn't have made so many laws or regulations in the first place.
