It does sound a lot like the Dark Ages, doesn't it, Senator Cash!

The Albanese Labor government's changes mean that casuals working like permanent employees will have a clearer pathway to permanency and the job security that provides. If a worker wants to remain a casual employee, that's a legitimate choice, but we know some workers want more job security and that choice shouldn't be removed by an employer who wants to call them casual when they're really permanent. That's the way the law will stay under Labor. Under the Liberals and the coalition, it will change for the worse. (Time expired)
