My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware of the case of my constituent Omir Majstrovic who had been employed by Formbrace Pty Ltd since 1998 but was dismissed after lodging a workers compensation claim? Is the Prime Minister further aware that Formbrace is claiming to have 97 employees and therefore to be exempt from unfair dismissal laws? Is the Prime Minister also aware that Formbrace has offered just one week’s salary as compensation to this father of three for the loss of his job? Isn’t this another example of the government’s extreme industrial relations policy in action?
