My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. I refer to the minister’s frequent assertions that workers—particularly women workers—are better off on Australian workplace agreements. I also refer to the fact that the Prime Minister said yesterday that nurses should be paid more. If the minister really believed that AWAs are so good, why wouldn’t the government be proud to tie future Commonwealth healthcare funding to the offering of AWAs?
