My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his comments on Meet the Press last Sunday about the government’s industrial relations changes:

... most of the concerns that have been raised so far have been phoney ...

Has the Prime Minister seen comments by Catholic Bishop Kevin Manning in the latest edition of the Catholic Weekly that the government’s industrial relations legislation is ‘manifestly unjust’, removes ‘fundamental measures of fairness’, ‘violates ... any reasonable notion of a “fair go”’, is ‘weighted “too heavily”’ and ‘stacks the scales in favour of the employer’?
