My question is again to the Prime Minister and refers to the question of the future of Australian families. Is the Prime Minister aware of a report recently released by the Melbourne Institute which documents that more that one million Australian employees are working more than 50 hours a week and more than half of these workers are unhappy about it? How can the Prime Minister claim to support family values with this 24/7 industrial relations system, given that it places even more pressure on working parents and families?
