Auctioneering Profession: Motion.
A case could be made for suggesting that the entry level criteria should be strengthened. That issue has been raised by Senator Ross on a number of occasions, but Senator Scanlon was clear in highlighting the fact that auctioneers have to go before the courts. Unlike those in other professions, auctioneers are obliged to go before the courts on an annual basis and, at that stage, objections can be made to their holding licences. That is a strong point and it is worth reiterating.
