My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Minister Watt. Today marks one year since the second tranche of the Albanese Labor government's closing loopholes legislation passed the parliament. These reforms built on the 'same job, same pay' legislation. They contain stronger protections for gig workers, end unpaid overtime with a right to disconnect, and provide more job security for casual workers. Minister, why is closing loopholes in our workplace relations system so important, and how are the Albanese Labor government's policies helping Australian workers earn more and keep more of what they earn?
