My question without notice is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Abetz. According to a recent newspaper report, Wangaratta textile manufacturer Bruck Textile Technologies was recently bought for a token $1. The report suggested the purchasing company did so to avoid paying entitlements to 60 sacked workers who have been told that they would not be receiving annual leave, long service leave, notice pay or redundancy pay entitlements. What action has the minister taken in response to these alarming developments?
