Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Corporate Governance and Responsibility) Share this | Hansard source

I indicate that the Labor Party is supporting Senator Murray’s amendments. As I understand it, from both having a look at them and listening to Senator Murray’s contribution, they essentially deal with ensuring that there is a legal requirement as to compliance on a range of fronts associated with health and safety management arrangements, in particular the arrangements pursuant to section 16(3)(c). I ask the government, through the minister, this: if the government is not supporting these amendments, would he indicate whereabouts in the proposed bill and/or principal legislation there are provisions which in fact ensure compliance with any arrangements entered into?
