QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Dr ALY (Cowan—Minister for Small Business, Minister for International Development and Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:08): I'll just repeat my answer from last time, but I'll add a bit of clarity to it. The RBA announced their decision to ban surcharges on 31 March of this year, stating that surcharges will be banned from 1 October. On 1 October, the ATO announced their decision that they would not be accepting credit cards, and that's when I found out.
