It looks like PML may be delayed till 2010. This makes political sense: the delay allows it to be introduced just prior to an election, and there is a perfect excuse for delay (no money in the budget and not wanting to increase costs for business under the current economic environment).
Rudd has already made a commitment to implementing PML, but made no commitment as to when it would be implemented.
The final report of the Productivity Commission Inquiry may be released on Friday, or later next week. I have a personal and professional interest in this area so will be sure to analyse the report in full, I dont really expect it to really deviate from the Draft Report by any considerable margin though.
The Senate is also due to report this Friday on their inquiry into the Fair Work Bill inquiry, which is more squarely where my interests lie, so this could be a busy week!
