The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (16:12): How does the minister expect the industry to participate in this voluntary scheme of the government's if it does not actually support the trademark?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (16:12): I have just outlined a process that allows the industry further engagement in relation to the trademark. If the industry wants further changes to the trademark, it will have every opportunity to do that The only restriction is that it has to comply with the IP and ACCC standards, which previous suggestions from the industry did not do. Now, as I said, we go back to the drawing board, we try again, and we continue to try to make sure that we engage with industry and reflect its expectations.
