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. Prime Minister, isn’t it the case that the government’s own statistics released in May show that under the government’s industrial relations legislation 16 per cent of AWAs remove all protected award conditions in full, 27 per cent remove public holiday loadings, 29 per cent remove rest breaks, 52 per cent remove shift loadings, 63 per cent remove penalty rates, 64 per cent remove leave loadings and 100 per cent remove at least one of the above? Prime Minister, isn’t this why the government now refuses to release up-to-date statistical information on these protected award conditions cut from AWAs and why the Prime Minister refuses to guarantee that no worker will be worse off under his legislation?
