I was misrepresented in two editions of the Australian Financial Review, which referred to claims that arising from the review of shipping the government will guarantee 80 per cent of market share for Australian shippers and their crews. I am not aware of where the figure of 80 per cent comes from. What I said was:

This review will be about boosting Australia’s international competitiveness and finding ways to increase coastal shipping’s share of the domestic freight market.

That is quite clearly the share of the market between shipping, rail and road.
