I want to briefly comment on the unmitigated stupidity of the Labor Party’s attacks on Work Choices. Whilst I have a great deal of sympathy for the people that Senator Lundy mentioned—those who were injured on a work site—to try and associate a tragic workplace accident with the workplace relations laws is just absurd. Senator Lundy acknowledged that when she cited the two examples, one of which occurred more than a year ago—long before Work Choices was ever introduced. It just shows the absurdity and hypocrisy of the Labor’s attack.
