The government are of the view that the law is very clear that ‘take advantage’ has been interpreted in the case law in section 46 to simply mean ‘use’. This interpretation does not hinder the operation of section 46 and there is not a sufficient level of ambiguity to warrant an amendment. Again I say to those members of the opposition, as I said in my summing-up speech: the government have consulted widely over a long period of time and have listened very carefully to what all of the small business groups have been saying, and we do believe that we have the balance right—balancing the needs of small business operating in a competitive environment and ensuring that consumers benefit from that competitive environment.
