Cormann, Sen Mathias

Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:19): Contrary to what Senator McKim appears to suggest, there is not actually a homogenous view. There is a diversity of views. The government, in response to some of the recommendations made by the Harper review, has decided to do some further work. That is because we want all businesses across Australia to have the best possible opportunity to be successful, and we want to ensure that the competition policy framework that is ultimately implemented will help to strengthen growth and strengthen the opportunities for all businesses to be as successful as they possibly can be.
