The government opposes these amendments, which are shifty amendments in exactly the same spirit that those opposite brought forward not a full implementation of the Respect@Workreport but rather a partial implementation of the Respect@Work report, and then had the gall to oppose amendments that we moved to the government's bill last year that would have implemented the Respect@Work report in full.

We are implementing the Respect@Work report in full, and these amendments, like the previous set of amendments, and like the next lot of amendments that the shadow Attorney-General is bringing forward, are designed to undermine and oppose the intent of the Respect@Work report.
