Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations) Share this | Hansard source

I think the issues have been quite properly raised for debate and to be discussed in the parliament by the member for Kennedy. We've had a good discussion on this and we're at a point now where, once we finish the amendment debate, we will go immediately through to the final stages of the bill. The parliament now has a chance to get wages moving. I think we should proceed with that now and I ask that the amendment now be put to the House.
