At the request of Senator Abetz, I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes the comments made by the Deputy Prime Minister (Ms Gillard) and reported in the Australian Financial Review on 20 January 2009, regarding the Senate’s 2008 amendments to the Safe Work legislation; and

(b)

condemns the Deputy Prime Minister for seeking to circumvent the Senate on the issue of uniform occupational health and safety laws, rather than meet with non-government senators to discuss their concerns about the Safe Work legislation.

Question agreed to.
