  • Inquiry Into the National Consumer Credit Protection Bill 2009
    17th July, 2009 The Secretary Senate Economics Legislation Committee PO Box 6100 Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Email: [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam, Senate Inquiry Submission: Inquiry into the National Consumer Credit Protection Bill 2009 David Jones welcomes the opportunity to participate in the Inquiry and has the following points to offer. Our key concerns with the Bill were outlined in our submission to the Minister for Financial Services, Superannuation and Corporate Law on the Draft Exposure for the National Consumer Credit regime. We have attached a copy of this submission for information for the Senate Inquiry. David Jones applauds the action taken by the Minister to exempt retailers from the requirements of the Bill, pending an examination of the issue of regulatory oversight within the next 12 months. In doing this the government has gone some way to avoiding a number of significant unintended consequences of the original Bill that were outlined in our Draft Exposure Submission. We remain concerned that unless retailers are permanently exempted from the Bill, these unintended consequences in our submission will become a reality to the detriment of consumers, the retail sector and the Australian economy. We would welcome the opportunity to elaborate on any aspects of this submission in person as part of the Senate’s public hearing on this Bill. Yours faithfully, Damian Eales Group General Manager, Financial Services & Marketing David Jones Limited Encl.
