My question is addressed to the Minister for Small Business and Tourism. I refer to the following comments by the minister for small business, reported today, when she said that collective bargaining:

... can allow franchisees to strike a better deal with big business. With collective bargaining, small businesses can reap the benefits of economies of scale ...

Minister, if collective bargaining is important for small business dealings with big businesses, isn’t it even more important for employees’ dealings with big businesses?
