I thank the member for Hasluck for his question. I was delighted to be with him and quite a number of business operators in his electorate in Perth last week. There has been quite a deal of misinformation in the media over recent days about occupational health and safety and the Work Choices legislation. Let me re-emphasise the basic point—that is, occupational health and safety is the responsibility of states and territories in Australia.
