I thank the shadow minister for his question. Our government remains committed to the arrangements in the Fair Work Act. That includes matters to deal with the gig economy and, of course, secure work. Labor announced its very-light-on-detail Secure Australian Jobs Plan in February 2021. The existing objective of the Fair Work Act is to provide a balanced framework for cooperative relations between employers and employees and the delivery of a framework that is fair to working Australians while being flexible for businesses. This framework is designed to carefully balance the needs of employers and employees. The fact is that Australians value the diversity that the labour market and its various features offers. We are committed to the arrangements which exist under the Fair Work Act.
