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

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his October 2005 WorkChoices booklet. I quote from page 37:

Transmission of business occurs when an existing business is sold to another business ...

The Australian Government will protect the entitlements of employees in these circumstances—

for 12 months. Prime Minister, why were the entitlements of the 65 employees at the Hilton IGA in Perth not protected on the sale of that business?
