My question is to Senator Abetz, the Minister Representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. Minister, I refer you to reports of the Industrial Relations Commission’s decision last month that, under Work Choices, businesses can sack workers if the business is restructuring. The commission ruled that restructuring was a ‘genuine operational reason’ for sacking and that a company did not even have to prove financial difficulty. Minister, how is Melbourne based account manager Michelle Sperac, who was sacked, better off under Work Choices?
