We have a proud track record of reducing red tape-related costs for business by more than $2 billion a year. When it comes to the implementation of a policy commitment which we took to the last election, that was part of the conversation with the Australian people in the lead-up to the last election. On this side of the parliament we actually delivered on the commitments that we made to the Australian people before the election. But let me just say that Labor imposed more than 21,000 new pieces of red tape. We are actually reducing red-tape costs for business every single day, and we are proud of our record. (Time expired)
