AnswerView source ↗
(1) As was noted in response to the member’s question without notice of 30 March, the letter regarding retail trading hours and NCP payments for Western Australia was sent to the Prime Minister on 14 March by the Premier. This question should be directed to the minister representing the Premier. I will tell the member who that is later on. (2) The Council of Australian Governments is scheduled to review the current NCP arrangements during 2005. To inform this review, in April 2004, COAG, through the federal Treasurer, commissioned the Productivity Commission to undertake a public inquiry into the impact of NCP and related reforms. The Productivity Commission’s final report, which was submitted to the federal Treasurer at the end of February 2005, was the subject of extensive consultation throughout its drafting and finalisation. The Productivity Commission was informed by more than 250 public submissions from stakeholders and community groups, and it held meetings and public hearings. COAG will next meet on 3 June 2005 and the NCP item is expected to be on the agenda for discussion. (3) The Western Australian government’s input into the COAG review will be coordinated by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, with involvement as necessary from the Department of Treasury and Finance. (4) Yes. (5) Industry and stakeholder groups were free to input directly to the productivity commission’s public inquiry, and these submissions will have been reflected in the Productivity Commission’s final recommendations. During the forthcoming COAG review process the Department of the Premier and Cabinet will undertake further consultation with industry and stakeholder groups should this be necessary.
