Part 3/9:
Taylor expressed concern over the rising cost of living and the risk of Australian businesses shutting down at record rates due to regulatory pressures. He highlighted the need to scrutinize policies that may impose unnecessary costs and hamper economic growth. While he did not explicitly endorse repealing labor-era legislation, he reaffirmed the opposition's commitment to minimizing unnecessary burdens on Australians and their businesses. The debate also touched on Howard-era laws, such as the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act of 2007 and the Renewable Energy Electricity Act of 2000, with Taylor suggesting that any reform should be carefully studied and justified.
