I am delighted to take part in this debate this afternoon. I am a bit disappointed in the Labor Party though. They seem to have been concentrating on the workplace relations bill and ‘all’ the demonstrations today. I put all in inverted commas because I think only a very small percentage of Australian workers bothered to turn out today. In fact, as I understand it, the demonstrations were an absolute and abject failure today.
