Julia Gillard (Lalor, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations and refers to the rights and interests of working families. I refer to the analysis of Australian workplace agreements lodged with the Employment Advocate last year that showed that 100 per cent of these unfair Australian workplace agreements had excluded one protected award condition; 63 per cent of them had removed penalty rates; and 52 per cent had removed shift loadings. Minister, didn’t the government cease this analysis because it showed Australian workplace agreements were stripping away the take-home pay and working conditions of Australians?
