The BLS Report Episode Seventeen: Untangling the mess

The Australian Law Reform Commission was charged in 2020 with untangling the mess that is Australia’s financial services law, without altering the policy settings. In this episode, BLS Executive members Pamela Hanrahan and John Keeves discuss the Final Report with Christopher Ash and Ellie Filkin from the ALRC to unpack the Report’s 58 recommendations. We explore what needs to change in our approach to legislating for business regulation in future, to avoid unnecessary complexity and support the rule of law.
