AIST welcomes the Productivity Commission's draft report and its focus on developing appropriate evidence-based measures to assess the efficiency and competitiveness of the system

 

Our overall assessment is that while the Commission has established a sensible approach to the assessment process, and proposed some useful and appropriate assessment criteria and indicators, there are key areas where the Commission should focus and clarify its approach.  

Out of 111 indicators proposed by the Commission, AIST supports 54 indicators, has reservations about 35 indicators and recommends that 22 indicators be removed.  We have proposed an additional 4 indicators in addition to recommendations that the Commission give more thought to further indicators on governance and fiduciary relationships.
