'It's hard to believe we've entered another year with the potential repeal of parallel import restrictions still looming. The government now has the Productivity Commission's final report into Intellectual Property Arrangements - delivered in late December-which recommends that PIRs are repealed by the end of 2017. Whether the government is able to get the legislation through the Senate is another matter.' (Andrea Hanke, Editorial introduction :4)
