Senator JOYCE—Mr Hambrook, your organisation has been lobbying our office about this issue. What you have put forward today clearly outlines your case, and hopefully we can come up with some reasonable arrangement for your industry.

Mr Hambrook—Thank you, Senator. There are small paint companies all over Australia that are hanging in there—from Western Australia to Tasmania. Let us not damage these guys.

CHAIR—Thank you very much, indeed, Mr Hambrook. That was very helpful.

Proceedings suspended from 10.48 am to 11.04 am
