My question is to the Minister for Industrial Relations. I refer to the report in the Fin Review, 'Porter retreats in union brawl', saying that the provision to cut take-home pay was included at 'the last minute' and after the negotiations between business, the unions and the government had concluded. Why didn't the government ever raise this proposal with unions before including it in the legislation tabled yesterday? What exactly are you retreating from if there's no problem?
