What the Labor Party and the Democrats are seeking in this is a formal type of agreement, whereas what we are seeking is for workplaces to enter into arrangements where the discussion between a worker and the employer is very relevant and where the employer at the end of the day is still required to abide by their duty of care. With great respect, we can debate this, but I think that is very much to the point, albeit that that point is lost on Senator Wong.
