Craig Emerson (Rankin, Australian Labor Party, Minister Assisting the Finance Minister on Deregulation) Share this | Hansard source

I can assure the shadow minister that as a former shadow minister for innovation, industry, trade and tourism I do well understand the ACIS arrangements that were put in place by the previous government. The transparency provisions in this bill are the same as those that were in the legislation that was brought forward by the previous coalition government. My faint hope having been dashed by the shadow minister’s comments that he has indeed not changed his mind, it is obvious that we are heading for a division.

Question put:

That the motion (Dr Emerson’s) be agreed to.
