A report produced by the Institute of Public Affairs estimates that excessive regulation costs the Australian economy about $A176bn each year. The report, by senior fellow Mikayla Novak, also raises doubts about the effectiveness of the Federal Government’s push to reduce the compliance burden since it took office in 2013.
