Mr MARTIN
—My question is addressed to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Small Business. The minister will be aware that both his predecessor and the Prime Minister repeatedly gave assurances to this House that the government would respond to the recommendations of the fair trading inquiry report with respect to small business within three months of its tabling. As today is exactly three months since the report was tabled, will the minister outline to the House the government's response?
Mr REITH
—I am happy to answer that question by saying that, when the report came down, I think the government said that we would aim to have a response within three months, which is at the end of this month. That is true.
Mr Crean
—Today.
Mr REITH
—Today, sure. Today is the 26th. Congratulations. Obviously, with a change in ministry, as an incoming minister, I intend to make it my business to ensure that I have spoken to absolutely everybody—
Mr Crean
—When?
Mr REITH
—Let me finish. I intend to ensure that I speak to absolutely everybody who is anybody with respect to the fair trading report and the issues that it has raised. I can inform the House that I have had a whirlwind of consultations in the few weeks that I have had the job. I have seen most people, and some I have seen twice. There are some I have not yet seen. I hope to see them this week or next. We are obviously having discussions also with our own backbench and others. Basically, as I said when I got the job, my aim is to have the response through cabinet and publicly announced by September. That is the timetable I am working to.
