I don't accept the assertions put forward by the member who came to the dispatch box on these issues. The submissions that were made by the government to the Fair Work process are the same as those that have been made by the government over many years. In fact, they reflect exactly the same submissions that were also put forward by the previous government, including during the GFC where they made similar observations regarding the impact on the labour market at a time of economic crisis. But I do note that it was the practice under the member for Maribyrnong when it related to those processes that the Labor Party would make submissions to that Fair Work process—not so under this Leader of the Opposition. This Leader of the Opposition is so keen to talk about these issues out there but, when it comes to actually submitting a case, once again, he has a bet each way.
