The concept of a three-stage evolution of regulatory reform, culminating in ‘regulatory management’, was first discussed in Scott Jacobs, ‘The Future of Regulatory Reform’, paper prepared for ‘From Red Tape to Results: International Perspectives on Regulatory Reform’, conference presented by the New South Wales government, in collaboration with the Commonwealth Industry Commission and the New Zealand Chamber of Commerce; available free of charge from the OECD Public Management Service.

Ride-hailing services were some of the earliest to emerge and have grown extremely rapidly worldwide in the last five years, with companies such as Uber, DiDi Chuxing, Grab and Ola being among the most prominent. However, there have also been rapid developments in other modes, including car-sharing, bike-sharing and scootersharing services. Prominent names in these fields include Lyft, BlaBlaCar, Zipcar, Mobike, Ofo, Jump, Bird and Lime.

The article first discusses Australia's recent economic and fiscal performance and then focuses on the budget formulation process. After a discussion of the role of the Parliament, the article reviews various aspects of budget implementation and management. The article concludes with a special section on Australia's efforts to eliminate "red tape" within government. This review was undertaken in September 2007; following the election of a new government in Australia in November 2007, some new policies are highlighted, encompassing budget formulation, processes, accounting and management. * Jón R. Blöndal and Ian Hawkesworth are, respectively, Deputy Head of Division and Administrator in the Budgeting and Public Expenditures Division of the Public Governance and Territorial Development Directorate, OECD. At the time of writing, Daniel Bergvall was a project manager in the same division. Rex Deighton-Smith, independent consultant, prepared the section on reducing red tape.
