My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the amended administrative arrangements order and note in the department of jobs section that the person responsible for administering the Fair Work Act is simply described as 'the minister'. Given there are two ministers in that department, can he confirm which minister is referred to in and responsible for administering the Fair Work Act?

The minister responsible for administering the Fair Work Act is the Minister for Small and Family Business, the Workplace and Deregulation, the member for Reid.
