My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister explain why the mining sector in which AWAs are most prevalent, the iron ore sector, has averaged less than one per cent annual productivity growth since the introduction of AWAs in 1996, compared to average annual productivity growth of 6.6 per cent in the coal sector, in which collective agreements are prevalent?
