Julia Gillard (Lalor, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

As I was saying, I understand the difficulties confronting the shadow minister for whatever their policy is at the moment, but I can give the shadow minister a very clear guarantee. My very clear guarantee to the shadow minister is as follows: the Fair Work Bill offers workers greater job security than Work Choices, which was purpose designed to make it easier to sack employees and to enable their redundancy to be stripped away without a cent of compensation. What that means is that the Liberal Party, as the party of Work Choices, stand also as the party of job insecurity, because you believe that it is fair for workers to be sacked for no reason at all.
