Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Treasurer’s comments on 6 May when he was asked whether he could guarantee that a Costello government would not repeal or water down the fairness test that the Prime Minister introduced to his industrial relations legislation. The Treasurer replied:

I’m not going to speculate on what might happen after the election.

I also refer to comments by the Minister for Finance and Administration, Senator Minchin, to the HR Nicholls Society when he said:

We do need to seek a mandate from the Australian people at the next election for another wave of industrial relations reform.

Can the Prime Minister confirm that the government has no plans for further changes to its industrial relations legislation?
