Workplace Relations Amendment (a Stronger Safety Net) Bill 2007
Second Reading
Debate resumed from 18 June, on motion by Senator Colbeck:
That this bill be now read a second time.
upon which Senator Wong had moved by way of amendment:
At the end of the motion, add “but the Senate condemns the Government’s lack of honesty about:
(a) its plans for extreme industrial relations laws before the last election;
(b) the impact of its inherently unfair Work Choices laws, including the way these laws have:
(i) caused the pay and conditions of individuals on Australian Workplace Agreements to be cut;
(ii) allowed good workers to be dismissed for no reason at all;
(iii) placed an unprecedented paperwork burden on small businesses; and
(iv) destroyed the independent industrial umpire;
(c) the cost of the taxpayer-funded polling research which apparently led the Government to dropping the term ‘Work Choices’ and bringing this bill to the Senate;
(d) the magnitude of the taxpayer-funded advertising campaign to promote the Government’s political spin on industrial relations;
(e) the fact that this bill leaves Australians still overwhelmingly exposed to the harshness of Work Choices; and
(f) its intention to legislate even harsher laws if re-elected”.
