The single online business registration service is a collaborative project between the tax office, the Treasury, ASIC and the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science. It will make it easier for businesses to complete their business and tax registration by providing a single site that allows registration to be completed within a single process.

The opposition should be excited about these sorts of initiatives. They are making it easier to do business in Australia and to keep jobs in Australia. If we make dealing with regulation in Australia easier, we will attract jobs overseas as well. President-elect Trump has announced that one of his first 100-day initiatives is reducing regulation. Well, we have to be in the field. We better make sure we are keeping those jobs in Australia and that they are not being attracted to overseas jurisdictions. Business registration will be easier. It will be seamless. There will be a single website and it will in time cover state and territory governments as well. (Time expired)
