Senate debates Occupational Health and Safety (Commonwealth Employment) Amendment Bill 2005

In Committee


Penny Wong

Penny Wong SA, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Corporate Governance and Responsibility

It would be very interesting, Minister, I am sure, to have a look at what freebies you might be provided with as a member of parliament. But that is really not the issue here. The issue here is the policy that is set out in the legislation and whether the government thinks it is appropriate that there should be a legislative direction that an association of this kind that is given this particular role under the proposed amended act should be one which is independent.

Question negatived.
