In the last few years there has been debate in Australia (and other parts of the world)
about whether society is becoming over-regulated in terms of people’s personal decisions
about lifestyle and other issues. In this debate, Western societies, Australia and Great
Britain for example, have been accused by some citizens and also some visitors of
becoming “nanny states”. Many examples of suspected or alleged over regulation include
issues of public health and safety, and involve all levels of government (local, state,
federal) as well as other regulators such as school boards, major corporations, residential
bodies corporate and many others. One example often cited at local government level is
the decision by many local government authorities to install low risk but often boring and
so under used public playgrounds in their parks and other public spaces. The recent
debate (and subsequent changes in law) in Sydney surrounding control of liquor outlets
in the Kings Cross and surrounding area is another example that gave rise to accusations
of a “nanny state”.
