66360 (2024). Helen White to the Minister for Small Business and Manufacturing

66360 (2024). Helen White to the Minister for Small Business and Manufacturing: How, if at all, does the Minister intend to ensure that the publication of quarterly payment data leads to measurable improvements in payment times across government agencies to small businesses?

Hon Andrew Bayly: Measuring and publishing agencies’ progress on payment times targets is a necessary step to ensure they consistently meet these targets. Where agencies consistently fall short of the payment time targets, I will raise the matter directly with the Minister responsible for that agency.
