survive and when they can't get that from a registered credit provider they end up going to loan sharks who ultimately have abusive practices and basically charge criminally high interest rates.
So, it was clear from the Seias report into this Act that loan sharks are the biggest winners from this amendment and it's all at the expense of the poor.
So, if protecting the poor and stamping out loan sharks is a priority of your government, can you tell this House what successes the National Credit Regulator along with the police have had to date in shutting down these loan sharks, what penalties have they faced and how many have landed up in jail? [Applause.]
Thank you very much House Chair. I'm sure we can encourage the hon member to reduce his questions to writing. It's a different set of questions to the question that we are dealing with and I'll be very happy to provide a parliamentary reply to that.
