My question is to Senator Birmingham, the Minister representing the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has said that he's committed to making workplaces safe, but Commissioner Jenkins's earlier report, Respect@Work, made it clear that a positive duty on employers is critical to achieving that. Your party voted against that. Then we were told at last estimates that consultation on the positive duty would start in December, with a view to implementation by late March. We're now in the second week of February, with only a handful of sitting days before an election, and none of this has happened. How can women in this country have any confidence that this government is committed to making any workplace safe for them?
