Senator ELLISON (Minister for Customs and Consumer Affairs and Minister Assisting the Attorney-General)(8.28 p.m.) —I am advised that, in any event, the government would have to make a regulation to extend the special exemption. That alone will bring the matter to the attention of the Senate. No doubt the matter would have been raised at the Ministerial Council of Consumer Affairs, which I attended just recently, and which would be meeting well before the expiration of 12 months. At that meeting, the matter would be fully ventilated. In any event, I can say to you that the government would be advising the Senate of its intention in relation to these matters. Precisely as to the time I cannot say, but it would be timely enough for any regulation to be gazetted.
