My comments will be brief. I understand that the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Amendment (Inventory) Bill 2011 will decrease regulatory burden on business and industry. That has certainly been a rare feature as far as this government is concerned. The coalition will not be opposing the bill.
