If there are workers and employees in Australia who are detrimentally affected by a backlog, I am sure that they will be aware that this backlog arose as a result of the Howard government’s workplace relations agenda and the introduction of the so-called fairness test, which created this backlog. I have already given the senator, in an effort to assist her, an indication of what aspects of this bill attempt to deal with the appropriate processing of agreements. I am not sure that I can assist her any further.
