My question is for the Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher, represented by Minister Wong. The government has said that today's budget is all about delivering on new election commitments. One of those was a commitment:
… protecting the rights for small business, including ensuring security of payment in the building and construction industry.
This is something of concern here in the ACT and across the country. Subcontractors miss out time and again on payments for work done. So my question to the government is: when will you act to implement the recommendations of the Murray review from 2017?
