My question is to the Minister for Small Business, Independent Contractors and the Service Economy. I refer the minister to his government’s guarantee yesterday that no worker will be worse off under Labor’s new IR laws. I also refer the minister to the Deputy Prime Minister’s comments:

… there’s a balance in industrial relations, between the interests of employers and employees—we want that balance in the dead centre. That’s what we’ve delivered.

In the interests of keeping this balance, will the minister now guarantee that no small business will be worse off under Labor’s new IR laws?
