As I have previously outlined to Senator Abetz and to the chamber, the proposition before the chamber is a set of legislation which restores the no disadvantage test for Australian workers as against the entirety of the award. It represents a much more beneficial industrial relations system than currently exists, and it provides for significantly more protection for workers and their families than under the previous government.
