The Minister Replied:
(1) (a) 27
(b) Nil.
(c) 27
(2) The status of Government agencies and departments as constitutional corporations for the purposes of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 requires legal consideration of the financial and trading capacity of each organisation. Agencies and departments would only seek such consideration if they were contemplating the introduction of Australian Workplace Agreements or Division 2 Certified Agreements under the Workplace Relations Act. I do not propose to have agencies seek such consideration of their status.
