Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister detail what kind of consultation with industry, with stakeholders and with the broader community has been held on the government’s package to better regulate short selling by requiring its transparent disclosure, by banning the questionable practice of naked short selling and by boosting the corporate watchdog’s powers? What new threats are there to bringing this comprehensive process to a conclusion which is in the national interest of the Australian economy?
