The government is committed to implementing our long-term plan for stronger growth and more jobs. As part of that plan we are pursuing one of the most ambitious reform agendas for our competition laws for a very long time. We have initiated the Harper review, which did a very good job and which will deliver benefits for the economy, for business and for consumers across Australia. This is a very important piece of work. This is a piece of work that we are very carefully considering to ensure that we make all the right decisions in the national interest. You would not expect me to give you here today the exact timetable of something that has not been finalised. When the government is in a position to make announcements about our way forward in response to the recommendations of the Harper review we will do so.
