Colin James Political Journalist And Analyst New Zealand Hide thought that insufficient and in 2006 got into the House a Regulatory Responsibility Bill drafted by Business Roundtable economic adviser Bryce Wilkinson.

C OLIN J AMES Reasoned feedback is welcome at the address below Hide: activating deep National instincts Colin James's Management Magazine column for April 2010 How do you tie bureaucrats' and politicians' hands so they won't make mucky law? Rodney Hide thinks he has the answer. New Zealand ranks high in some lists of "free" economies and ease of doing business. But that is not because it goes easy on making law. Parliament passes scores of acts a year, the cabinet raises a small mountain of regulations and ministers and officials issue rivers of edicts which amount to law. The volume and speed ensure mistakes. Politicians, slaves to polls and ideology, add idiosyncratic twists. One lot undoes what the previous lot did. Some of that affects the ease of doing business and the policy certainty business needs to plan effectively. The greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme is an example. To lift the game, officials have long been required to affix impact statements to new bills and regulations to explain the problem and why new law was needed. They degenerated into pro forma justifications. Lianne Dalziel as Commerce Minister tried to beef them up. Hide thought that insufficient and in 2006 got into the House a Regulatory Responsibility Bill drafted by Business Roundtable economic adviser Bryce Wilkinson. Sir Geoffrey Palmer, as head of the Law Commission, issued a scathing assessment. Dalziel put the bill on hold.
