There is a lot to raise on this issue of worker exploitation. The questions that I have for the minister are not just about resources to the Fair Work Ombudsman. What is this government doing about labour hire? Yesterday we had the state Labor government in Victoria pass labour hire legislation to stop worker exploitation. What is this government going to do? Are you going to introduce labour hire legislation to stop worker exploitation at a federal level? What are you going to do as a government to complement what's been done in Victoria? Do you agree with what the Victorian government has done? When will this government get serious about cracking down on worker exploitation and addressing these issues?
