GAN (—) (): I second the motion. I'm seconding this motion because this is a question of transparency.

Can I begin by giving the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations a compliment? I've just googled you, Minister. You're a very good speaker. He was awarded the Martin Sorensen Trophy for being the best speaker at the 1994 Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships, which is quite an achievement and I congratulate him on that.

Why am I seconding the motion? What I've learnt from this minister is that when he gets up and says something like, 'This is a very modest proposal,' it's usually complete overreach. When this minister gets up says, 'We've consulted widely,' it's normally been with a few union movement officials and stakeholders who've signed confidentiality clauses.
