I refer to the Premier’s comments on 6PR this morning that a leader must put his position forward. He said he had never been given the luxury by the media or others to just sit on his hands on an issue. Does the Premier support the introduction of secret ballots before workers go on strike?

The Labor Party opposed the system that was advocated by the previous Minister for Labour Relations, Graham Kierath, as an impractical and very divisive way of dealing with a complex situation when there is an industrial dispute.
