Second Reading

See the whole debate Next speaker »

Debate resumed from 12 February, on motion by Mr Nairn:

That this bill be now read a second time.

upon which Mr Tanner moved by way of amendment:

That all words after “That” be omitted with a view to substituting the following words:“whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House is of the view that:

(1)
despite record high commodity prices the Government has failed to secure Australia’s long term economic fundamentals and that it should be condemned for its failure to:
(a)
stem the widening current account deficit and trade deficit;
(b)
reverse the reduction in education and training investment;
(c)
acknowledge the connection between climate change and human activity and tackle the serious threat climate change poses to Australia’s long-term well-being;
(d)
address critical structural weaknesses in health such as workforce shortages and rising costs;
(e)
expand and encourage research and development to move Australian industry and exports up the value-chain; and
(f)
address falling levels of workplace productivity; and
(2)
the Government’s extreme industrial relations laws will lower wages and conditions for many workers and do nothing to enhance productivity or economic growth; and
(3)
the Government’s Budget documents fail the test of transparency and accountability”.
