My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Abetz. I refer to reports that during budget negotiations Senator Bob Day has raised with the government a proposal to allow young job seekers to 'opt out' of the Fair Work Act if they find a job but the employer cannot afford to meet minimum pay and conditions. Can the minister confirm that this proposal is on the table as part of the budget negotiations?
