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

My question is to the Prime Minister and follows the inability of the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations to answer my earlier questions. I refer to the Prime Minister’s statement of 4 May that those administering the misnamed fairness test for AWAs under his Work Choices laws will ‘apply a bit of Australian common sense and people experienced in this area can make a judgement as to whether fair compensation has been given’. Given that the temps dealing with the test have only six days training and are not experienced, and in some cases they are not even Australian, does the Prime Minister stand by this statement?
