My question is to the minister for transport. Last week, 2,000 Qantas workers were made redundant when their jobs were outsourced. One of these Qantas workers, Sean from Canberra airport, asked:

How do I explain to my three girls that it is not whether you do a good job or not, it is just that they can bring someone else in and do it for cheaper than you?

Why is the Morrison government standing by as thousands of aviation workers lose their jobs and are pushed into insecure work?
