Finance and deregulation Minister Lindsay Tanner said today in The Australian that a national conveyancing system would be an example of harnessing technology to reduce the cost of doing business.
It is estimated that a national electronic system could provide savings of up to $400 per property transaction.

Quoted in The Australian, Victorian Environment Minister Gavin Jennings said the Victorian team is committed to working with industry partners across the states and territories to develop the national system.
