| Summary |
The Government has an objective of lowering regulatory costs on business, improving market outcomes for consumers and encouraging self-regulation, including promoting quality codes of conduct in consumer markets.

The Taskforce on self-regulation was asked to inquire into and report on aspects of self-regulation pertinent to those objectives |
