I'm very pleased to speak on the Treasury Laws Amendment (2023 Law Improvement Package No. 1) Bill 2023. I think the point my learned colleague was talking about was very fine—dealing with the red tape so we can have the red carpet out for business. I was just with businesses in the road transport industry, and small businesses, large businesses, owner-drivers and workers were turning around and saying they want to have a fair playing field. They want to have the red carpet out for those companies that do the right thing, look after their workforce and make sure that business can fairly compete, not the scoundrels who literally have people killed on our roads or are stealing money from workers.
