The Greens oppose these amendments. We think the government got it right the first time. I am sorry about that, Minister. We believe the amendments pander to business and bias the factors Fair Work Australia are to take into account in not transferring instruments and therefore water down the employees’ rights. As I said, we think the government got it right last time. We were deeply concerned about the way transmission and transfer of business operated previously and we thought the government had taken the right steps in the bill. So we will be opposing these amendments.

Question agreed to.
