My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to Mr Mark Anderson in my electorate whose insulation business has operated for 16 years with a permanent workforce of 15 people and now has no prospective work on the books. Prime Minister, is it a fact that such employers must pay redundant staff all their entitlements upon dismissal? Will such redundant employees have to expend these redundancy entitlements as provided in existing regulations prior to receiving the assistance the Prime Minister has identified today?
