In answer to the question from the member for Perth, it is quite clear in the Work Choices legislation. If he would like to go to section 16(3) of the Work Choices legislation, he will find out—if he has not already looked—that that quite clearly and explicitly preserves state and territory occupational health and safety laws and, as part of that, it quite explicitly preserves the right of union officials to have entry for occupational health and safety reasons.
