Business Regulation Review Unit
BRRU
1986 – 1989
Commonwealth unit of the Hawke government that reviewed existing and proposed business regulation and advised on deregulation, publishing its findings in its own information papers.
How it came into existence
Set up in the mid-1980s (about 1986; some accounts give 1985) as part of the Hawke government's program to reduce the regulatory burden on business. Its exact start date and the department in which it first sat are not confirmed.
How it ended
Moved in 1989 to the Industries Assistance Commission, where its work continued as the Office of Regulation Review; the Office passed to the Industry Commission when that body replaced the Commission on 9 March 1990.
