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. I refer to the document released by the government last Friday called A stronger safety net for working Australians and I quote the following from it:

The Fairness Test will apply to all workplace agreements lodged on or after 7 May 2007. Employers and employees who are currently making an agreement will therefore need to be conscious of the Fairness Test ...

I also refer to the full-page advertisements of the government last weekend, which state:

The Fairness Test will apply to agreements lodged on or after 7 May 2007.

Minister, are these advertisements and this document wrong or were you just wrong when you answered my last question?
