After Victoria and NSW, Queensland makes news with the appointment of a Business Commissioner, an equivalent to the US "regulatory czar," Cass Sunstein who has recently been in the news with a statement on "job-killing" regulations. Mr Sunstein has been labeled the "most dangerous man in America" by television and radio commentator Glenn Beck. He has suggested that government recognition of marriage be discontinued (Wikipedia article.)
The Queensland Business Commissioner's job description is quite interesting: he/she will
· Lead the program to cut red tape across government
· Work with business representative organisations;
· Advise government agencies on best practice in regulation and recommend timelines for government's decision making processes; and
. make sure that before new laws are introduced, government departments will require a Regulatory Assessment Statement - showing that "the point of regulation outweighs the imposition of doing it".
