This is basically a question of getting the balance right between oversight and good governance on the one hand and not having too much pressure on small businesses on the other hand. I support the Minister's comments on monitoring of repeat offenders. Essentially, everyone wants to ensure we do not have people abusing the system for their own benefit. That is not what has been argued for here and the Minister understands that. Certainly, if the Minister has to come back at some stage to find a better way to deal with repeat offenders, I imagine she will find support from the Opposition.
