My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, isn’t it a fact that a mother working in a retail shop under the Victorian Shops Award would currently receive at least 14 days notice of a change in her roster? Prime Minister, if that hardworking mother were today offered an Australian workplace agreement, couldn’t that award condition be stripped away from her, despite your changes to Work Choices? Prime Minister, is it fair for a mother who needs to arrange child care to be subject to sudden roster changes?
