Talk Openly: Better Regulation Forum with special guest The Hon. Lindsay Tanner MP

Wed, 08/10/2008 - 15:28 — Site Administrator

SPECIAL EVENT: Monday 13th - Friday 17th October '08

The Hon Lindsay Tanner MP, Federal Minister for Finance and Deregulation, is our guest blogger as part of this interactive, online discussion forum on BETTER REGULATION.

Are you an expert or specialist in your field? Do you think you understand the needs of your industry better than the government? Are you tired of dealing with archaic laws that are no longer relevant? Or, are you working with emerging technologies which the law hasn't understood yet?  Are you an "ordinary" citizen with some extraordinary ideas for better regulation?

Then this is your chance to get directly in the Minister for Deregulation's ear! 

We talk a lot about the need for politicians to "stay in touch".  Minister Tanner has expressed a desire not just to talk, but to listen and reply to your ideas. 

We're looking forward to hearing what you have to say. The BETTER REGULATION forum opens on Thursday, 9 October 2008. Participation is simple and free. If you aren't already, sign in to become an Open Forum member. Write your comments, questions and suggestions using the "Post a comment" link below.

The Hon Lindsay Tanner MP will be personally responding to submissions from Monday, 13 to Friday, 17 October 2008.

Open Forum will then continue to follow how some of your ideas can be turned in to BETTER REGULATION.
