As a supplementary question, given that the Premier’s legislation enables the new corporations to use Australian workplace agreements, and given his previous response, will he amend his legislation to deny those corporations the ability to use AWAs? Dr G.I. GALLOP

I have answered that question. Mr M.J. Birney : No, you haven’t. Dr G.I. GALLOP : I have indeed. The government’s policy on this matter is very clear. If the opposition wants to move a motion in this Parliament to debate all aspects of federal AWAs and what they mean to working people and working families all over Australia, it should do so. We would be very happy to enter into the debate.
