More Laws, Less Rule of Law

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Augusto Zimmermann & Gabriël Moens have a very interesting Quadrant piece on a pernicious Australian problem which is also a British problem – too many laws and regulations are destroying respect for the law. In some areas of UK law, that should read have destroyed respect for the law.

Hence the Two Tier Keir jibe which was far more than a mere jibe. It is exceedingly unlikely that Three Tier Burnham will even acknowledge the problem. 

More Laws, Less Rule of Law

On February 3, 1949, Winston Churchill, the UK’s wartime prime minister warned in a House of Commons speech that “If you make 10,000 regulations you destroy all respect for the law.”[1] He argued that the proliferation of laws, which defined the post-war Labour governments, undermines free markets and erodes the public’s trust in the nation’s institutions.

Churchill’s warning is timely, considering the explosion of legislative activity in Australia which has made compliance with the law difficult at best and impossible at worst. For example, it is estimated that the Australian tax law is contained in over 14,000 pages – clearly an impossible task for even the most disciplined tax lawyer to know or understand.

The whole piece is well worth reading. Here in the UK, uninformed voters effectively vote for even more laws with no prospect whatever of understanding even the gist of those we have already.

One former Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, even boasted on one occasion that no other Government in this nation had passed as many laws as her government had,[5] as though this were something to celebrate rather than viewed as a potentially serious problem for the realisation of the rule of law in Australia.


Of course, matters have become considerably worse since Gillard made that notorious statement. If it were not bad enough that Australians have since enacted an enormous number of additional legislative measures, many of such measures also have undermined an important element of our Western legal tradition: the legal protection of inalienable rights – that is, our fundamental human rights to life, liberty and property.
