I present four government responses to committee reports as listed on today’s Order of Business. In accordance with the usual practice, I seek leave to incorporate the documents in Hansard.

Leave granted.

The documents read as follows—

Australian Government response to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services report:

Statutory Oversight of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission—August 2011

February 2013

Recommendation 1

Government response

Corporations Act 2001

– A licence given by ASIC that allows people or companies to legally carry on a financial services business, including selling, advising or dealing in financial products. You should only deal with licensed businesses as you are better protected if things go wrong and you will have access to free dispute resolution services. ASIC grants a licence if a business shows it can meet basic standards such as training, compliance, insurance and dispute resolution. The business is responsible for maintaining these standards. A licence does not mean that ASIC endorses the company, financial product or advice or that you cannot incur a loss from the investment.
