I thank Senator Xenophon for a question literally without notice. I am happy to give him the answers that I can. The Minister for Industry has made quite clear over the last two or three days this government's deep concern in relation to goods dumped into this country and the impact that that has on local jobs and local industry. The government is reviewing the antidumping laws to improve the efficiency of regulation and strengthen the legislation. If Senator Xenophon is asking me whether, as the Industry rep, I am concerned about the dumping of goods into this country, yes, I am. Is the Minister for Industry concerned about the dumping of goods into this country? Yes, he is. Is the Prime Minister concerned about the dumping of goods into this country? Yes, he is. That is why we are reviewing the antidumping laws to improve their efficiency.
