We are taking
positive action. This is not a new issue. We will be the first government to
deal with the issue in full in detail—something the Labor government overlooked. When there was a raft of bankruptcies in 2004, it did not address the issue. Once again, we
will sweep up the mess the Labor government left
behind.
