    Can we use this against the government? from the 2014 - AGM Presentation & Address (page 14), look how long the Government took to do anything about the dumping.

    We also now have around 65% of our sales base under investigation by the anti-dumping  commission  for  unfair  trade,  and  we  are  continuing  to  assess  whether  other  applications  are appropriate.
       
    With  record  steel  exports  coming  out  of  China  resulting  in  historic  low  South  East  Asian  steel  margins,  the risk of unfair trade in Australia from imports is high.  This reinforces more than ever the need for our anti-dumping regime to be strong and effective.
       
    While there have been some improvements over the last year or two, more needs to be done, and done
    quickly,  as  we  still  lag  behind  other  countries  in  terms  of  effectiveness.   For  example,  we  are  seeing  imports  now  finding  ways  to  circumvent  measures  imposed  on  them  for  dumping. This  needs  to  be  addressed urgently as it seriously threatens the effectiveness of our system.
       
    Needless to say, it is also critical that any free trade agreement the Government may negotiate does not result  in  any  weakening  of  our  anti-dumping  regime,  whether  directly  or  indirectly. Indeed,  we  believe  that a robust anti-dumping regime can only build strength and integrity into a free trade environment.
