He says the new system was ready to go in December and is now questioning the motives behind the delay in releasing it.
"I think they are certainly using it as an election tool as well, but fair enough, as long as they get into it now and move," he said.
"One of the things ... was it is being submitted to the ACCC for final approval, which is strange because the ACCC sat in on all these workshops.
