My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. Minister, is there a new wave of industrial relations advertisements currently under production?

Some employers need to know and some employees need to know. We make no apologies for properly informing the Australian people of the laws in relation to workplace relations. We make no apology either for properly informing people of where to go, what number to ring and to what website to go to find out if they are being underpaid by their employer.
