Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:14): The referral of this matter to ASIC should in no way interfere with the work of any liquidator who might be called in, and according to the FEG legislation—which was Labor legislation—under which we are operating we will do all that we can to ensure that prompt payments are made. There are procedures to be gone through, such as that the company is liquidated as opposed to just being put into administration. So there are those technical issues that have to be worked through. But you can be assured that we, as a government, will seek to do everything we can through the department to ensure that workers' entitlements, as they fall due under FEG, will be made available promptly in the event that what we suspect—namely, the company has not made provision. Of course, in those circumstances the taxpayer will come to their aid.
