What a farce this chamber has become, and so quickly, under the Labor government under Anthony Albanese—a chamber that for 124 years has actually sought to bring the diverse voices of Australians to the one place to prosecute ideas, to hold governments and executives to account on behalf of our very diverse population. Our chamber has always done that and taken it very seriously.
These are significant industrial relations reforms—reforms that are so significant that businesses are up in arms about it. We've had a Senate inquiry whose findings we're unable to prosecute. We've got a truncated committee session tomorrow because the Labor Party are all about who's got the numbers and how brutally they can exercise those numbers at any given time. It is an absolute shame. (Time expired)
