I too will be very brief, because we are under the guillotine. This is an excellent effort to deal with a complex problem. It would, of course, be much better in the substantive Trade Practices Act, but the fact is that that act does not cover off these areas of concern and we have no means to amend that act in this debate. This is an excellent contribution to a very real problem which was recognised by the Senate Economics References Committee in March 2004, and the Democrats will support it.
