Material relating to the 1986 Review of the Customs Tariff (Anti-Dumping) Act (1975), including the final report (March 1986), draft reports, submissions, printed material and miscellaneous working papers.
In February 1986 Senator Button (then Minister for Industry, Technology & Commerce) requested Professor Gruen, as as an economic advisor to the Federal Government, to conduct a review of the Customs Tariff (Anti-Dumping) Act 1975. Gruen's brief was to examine the Act and its administration in order to determine the need for improvements and suggest appropriate changes. Professor Gruen was also instructed to examine the merits of the inclusion of a National Interest Clause into the Act.
