I thank Senator Joyce for his incredibly passionate support for the Workplace Relations Amendment (Transition to Forward with Fairness) Bill 2008, which is before the Senate today. While I do not regularly look a gift horse in the mouth, when Senator Joyce claimed that this bill will save Australia from the impending disaster of collapse, I am not sure that I would have even gone that far myself. While this bill clearly will deliver productivity outcomes to this country, I am not sure that I actually agree with Senator Joyce’s assessment on just how good it is, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.
