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

I refer the Prime Minister to the Gosford newsletter, which reads in part:

The threat to weekends, public holidays, overtime and penalty payments needs to be answered. Where is the protection for existing wages and conditions? It’s no good telling workers that this or that situation in the future will not happen. Everyone wants guarantees that it won’t happen.

Why has the Prime Minister failed to respond to his own party’s demand for a decent no-disadvantage test that will stop conditions and take-home pay being slashed?
