I refer the minister to question without notice 175 of 13 June 2001 and question without notice 199 of 14 June 2001 relating to a cabinet-endorsed recommendation to the former coalition Government to repeal the Finance Brokers Control Act and ask - (1) What is the current status of this recommendation? (2) Has the National Competition Council accepted the Labor Government’s views relating to the inadequacies of the national competition policy legislative review process on this legislation, which was followed by the previous Government, and the now clear public interest issues associated with self-regulation within this industry? (3) Is the Finance Brokers Control Act part of any current negotiation with the National Competition Council and the federal Government regarding national competition policy tranche payments? (4) Will the minister table all communication between the State Government - former and current - and the National Competition Council and federal Government? I realise that at the end I should have put “with regard to this legislation”, but I assume that that is understood. Hon KIM CHANCE
