Check the Science campaign
A call-to-action is being delivered to the LNP Crisafulli Government to “check the science” behind major policies which are devastating the State’s core primary industries of farming, fishing and forestry, with the cost-of-living crisis impacting all 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.
On its website, the Commission says it “provides independent policy advice to the Queensland Government to help lift productivity, drive economic growth and enhance living standards for Queenslanders”.
The Queensland Productivity 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.
