MOTOR
VEHICLE DEALERS ACT — REVIEW
968. Hon KATE DOUST to the Minister for Commerce:
I appreciate the minister has had this question for a while.
I refer the minister to the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1973 and page 148 of the
Department of Commerce's ''Annual Report 2011–2012''.
(1) On what date will the minister release the discussion
paper?
(2) When will public submissions close?
(3) What will be the terms of reference for this review?
(4) Who will conduct this review?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) It is anticipated that the discussion paper will be
released early in 2013.
(2) A consultation period of three months is planned.
(3) The
review will examine the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1973 and the Motor Vehicle
Repairers Act 2003. Given the synergies between the motor vehicle dealers and
repairers industries, the review will examine both acts concurrently.
(4) The
review will be undertaken by the Consumer Protection Division of the Department
of Commerce.
