I move Australian Greens amendment (14) on sheet 5729:

(14)  Clause 180, page 170 (line 28), omit “7-day”, substitute “14-day”.

This relates to the access period for enterprise agreements. Our amendment returns the period of time employees must have to consider a proposed enterprise agreement to 14 days. The seven days in the bill was too short a time for employees to be able to access advice on proposed agreements.
