CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY —
OFFSHORE WORKERS — LONG SERVICE LEAVE
32. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the
Minister for Industrial Relations:
I refer to the exclusion of offshore
construction workers from the definition of ''construction industry''
in the Construction Industry Portable Paid Long Service Leave Act 1985.
(1) Does the
minister accept that the exclusion of construction workers on ships from the portable
paid long service leave scheme is inequitable?
(2) Does the
minister support legislative reform to address this issue?
(3) If yes to (2), when does the
minister anticipate this reform will be undertaken?
(4) If no to (2), why not?
