Abstract

I began as a sceptic of a Regulatory Responsibility Bill. It was obviously a deliberate echo of the Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994. And of all the reforms for which the reform period of the 1980s and 1990s is now remembered (the State-Owned Enterprises Act 1986, the State Sector Act 1988, Public Finance Act 1989, Reserve Bank Act 1989 and so on) the Fiscal Responsibility Act I have always regarded as the least significant.
