Senator SHERRY (Tasmania—Minister Assisting on Deregulation and Public Sector Superannuation, Minister for Small Business and Minister Assisting the Minister for Tourism) (14:39): mentioned the onerous new regulatory obligations that were imposed by the previous Liberal-National government on employers. When we presented the solution to the Senate the opposition opposed it. They opposed this important simplification. Senator Cormann: Yes, it's very unpopular. Senator SHERRY: Let me get to popularity. I am glad to hear Senator Mathias Cormann interjecting. Let us get to popularity: we have done a satisfaction survey of the clearing house which the Labor government introduced. Ninety per cent of respondents said they would recommend the clearing house to other small businesses. Ninety-six per cent of respondents strongly agreed or agreed the clearing house has reduced the time it takes to make their superannuation payments. Three-quarters of these said it saved them up to three hours per quarter, 15 per cent said up to seven hours and nine per cent said they have saved up to eight hours per quarter in terms of the superannuation obligations imposed by the previous Liberal-National government.
