My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Status of Women, Senator Wong. I refer to the heads of agreement signed in 2009 by the now Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and the Australian Services Union, in which Labor committed to support the ASU’s test case on pay equity for community sector employees. Following Labor’s recent backflip on support for the ASU test case, isn’t Labor’s abandonment of low-paid women workers in the community sector yet another example of Labor making promises to win an election and then betraying the very people it promised?
