Australia: John Brumby given anti-dumping role
04/07/2012 12:00
The federal government has appointed former Victorian premier John Brumby to assess the need for a dedicated anti-dumping agency.
Dumping occurs when goods are exported to Australia at a price below the domestic price in the country of export.
Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare says he has asked Mr Brumby to advise on the best structure for administering Australia's anti-dumping system.
"I am interested in investigating the benefits and costs of a stand-alone anti-dumping agency," Mr Clare said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Because this is such a specialised task, there may be real benefits in establishing a specialist agency. That is why I have commissioned this work."
Mr Brumby brings formidable public policy experience to the role, Mr Clare said.
He will be supported by a secretariat in the Attorney-General's Department and is expected to present his findings by November 30.
Coalition industry spokeswoman Sophie Mirabella said Mr Brumby's inquiry was a "shameful waste".
"This is just another excuse to give a Labor mate a job," she said in a statement.
But the Australian Industry Group welcomed the move.
"The establishment of a properly resourced and stand-alone anti-dumping authority may help address some of industry's continuing concerns," it said.
