Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his answer but I note that he refused to comment on Mr Corish’s AWA, even though yesterday he was claiming that AWAs are superior and people on them get paid higher wages. Is the minister aware of comments by Mr Goodwin’s wife, Ms Kylie Schipper, that after the Office of Workplace Services was contacted she and her husband realised that the AWA with Corish ‘wasn’t worth the paper it was written on’? Isn’t Ms Schipper right, Minster, when she says, ‘If Mr Corish can’t get it right you have to wonder how many businesses out there are looking after their workers properly’?
