(1) Why has the minister not given priority to the legislation that was promised to fix the problem is in the finance broking industry, as recommended by Ivan Gunning?

(1)-(2) The Government has given priority to those changes and the Cabinet has approved such changes. It would be inappropriate to make legislative changes without waiting for the final report of the Gunning inquiry. That is the proper thing to do. Rather than criticise me I think the member for Fremantle should be worrying about his neighbours at his new holiday home who are concerned about the dead tree that people used to use as a navigation point to get into port.
