I refer the Premier to question without notice No. 175 of June 13 2001 and question without notice No. 199 of June 14 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) If not, 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, the National Competition Council and Federal Government relating to this legislation review?
