Stephen Smith (Perth, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Industry, Infrastructure and Industrial Relations) Share this | Hansard source

I am making the suggestion that the minister has in his possession a report from the Office of Workplace Services, which is conclusive both in its conclusions and its recommendations. I am also suggesting that, following the receipt of that report, the minister or his office contacted the Office of Workplace Services and suggested that further work might need to be done because that suited the political convenience of the minister and the government. When will the minister finally admit that the conclusions of this report indicate quite clearly that the conduct and actions of the owners of the Cowra Abattoir were lawful in accordance with the government’s new legislation?
