Without science checking, EVERYONE pays
The Queensland Government is being asked to “check the science” behind layers of red and green tape which are devastating the State’s primary industries of farming, fishing and forestry - with the impacts adding to the cost-of-living crisis hurting Queensland households and businesses.
Premier David Crisafulli is being asked to refer the matter of checking the science behind State Government policy- and decision-making to the Queensland Productivity Commission (QPC). A Parliamentary Petition has been launched and signatures are being gathered.
The Commission “provides independent policy advice to the Queensland Government to help lift productivity, drive economic growth and enhance living standards for Queenslanders”.
The Commission is independent of policy departments and already evaluates regulatory and economic impacts. It would provide a neutral way to assess whether science, outcomes and regulatory burden are aligned.
