As I indicated earlier, we will support these amendments. They have the effect of aligning the Fair Work Act with the Sex Discrimination Act and provide an important protection for workers. We support simplifying federal laws by aligning the adverse action and unlawful termination provisions of the Fair Work Act with the protections in the Sex Discrimination Act.
