My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, isn’t it the case that from today, the first day of the government’s war on workers, nearly four million Australian employees completely lose their rights in unfair dismissal? Isn’t it also the case that from today all 10 million Australian employees are at risk of being unfairly dismissed without a remedy because of the so-called ‘operational reasons’? Prime Minister, doesn’t this just mean that from today Australian employees can be sacked, sacked unfairly and sacked for any reason or no reason?
