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. Minister, isn’t it a fact that leading labour market economist Mark Wooden, a conservative economist, said:

... there’s not a lot of evidence that individual contracts produce productivity.

He continued:

... the biggest gains for productivity still revolve around a system which is collective based.

Will the minister table the statistical evidence that proves the government’s assertion that the government’s industrial relations laws have increased productivity? Will he table that evidence?
