Yesterday in the parliament the Deputy Prime Minister claimed that I had misrepresented the position of the Australian Nursing Federation. Just for the benefit of the Deputy Prime Minister and to clear this up, let me quote what was said by the New South Wales federation’s acting secretary:

We thought Work Choices was crook but what has replaced it … takes us several steps backwards.

So there we have it—‘worse than Work Choices’. I table this document for the benefit of the Deputy Prime Minister. I also seek leave to table this other document which proves that, yet again, the Prime Minister got it wrong—only this time in the parliament—telling fibs about his Computers in Schools program.
