Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection) Share this | Hansard source

I was asked about job opportunities for hard-working Australians. The reality is that when this Leader of the Opposition was a union boss pretending to protect workers, he did the complete opposite: he presided over an arrangement in relation to Cleanevent where those workers were entitled to $50.17 per hour under the award. The deal that he brokered as the union leader, pretending to represent the interests of those workers, ended in those workers being paid $18.14 an hour. This man is the great false pretender of Australian politics. The Australian public is seeing through him. They have seen that in relation to 457 visas. Where he pretends to be the friend of workers, he is the complete opposite. He has been involved in deal after deal after deal where workers have come off second best. It is a case in relation to 457 visas, and certainly it was the case when he was a trade union leader.
