My question is for the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, is it not a fact that in early May the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations circulated a request for tender to economic research consultancies for economic modelling? Will the Prime Minister confirm that the tender documentation requests modelling based on Australian workplace agreement coverage increasing from ‘around five per cent of all employees to 20 per cent of all employees’? Prime Minister, does this document not reveal your government’s plan to force 1.5 million Australians onto Australian workplace agreements?
