My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. Isn’t it a fact that the only reason the minister will not use his power to direct the OEA to provide statistical information—not personal details, but statistical information—on what is happening to wages and conditions under the government’s AWAs is that the government does not want Australians to know the truth? Minister, how can you justify this cover-up?
