COSBOA understands the need for regulation, and in the main our regulators here in Australia are world class (not perfect, mind). Yet sometimes policy makers come up with stupid things - unnecessary layers of bureaucracy, or "red tape" that places a burden on small business people and through that harms the economy. All levels of government - federal, state and local - and even some non government organisations (shadow regulators, we like to call them) can create problems - big problems. Let's get 'em.
