Senator SINODINOS (New South Wales) (14:28): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I also refer the minister to the World Bank's ease of doing business rankings in which Australia is ranked 15th in the world while Singapore is ranked first. Why does the government continue to pursue economic policy settings more reflective of Europe rather than the pro-market, pro-growth economic policies of countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong which have resulted in superior economic growth, greater employment and higher living standards?
