House debates Questions without Notice

Workplace Safety

My question is to the Minister for Industrial Relations. Today I met with—and I understand the minister also met with—Linda, Pam and Kay. They're in the gallery. They lost their husbands and a son in horrific workplace accidents and received no answers about the deaths of their loved ones. The government's now had the Boland report into workplace health and safety for nearly two years. It recommends changes to make workplaces safer, including an offence of industrial manslaughter. When will the government make these changes, and when will the delay end?
