The new Minister for Regulatory Reform, Rodney Hide, is
asking the public for ideas on what he should scrap or
modify.
"Far too much irksome regulation is putting unnecessary
burdens on households and businesses," he said today.
"I want my Christmas stocking filled with good ideas for
reducing this burden."
The ACT Party leader campaigned for years on cutting red
tape, and he has been given the chance to do something about
it with his new portfolio.
Under the support agreement his party signed with National,
there is a commitment to "begin a regulatory review programme
to identify and remove inefficient and superfluous
regulation".
Mr Hide said Energy Minister Gerry Brownlee's move to scrap
Labour's decision to phase out traditional light bulbs was a
good example of what could be achieved.
