My question is to the Minister for Employment Participation representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Senator Arbib. Can the minister inform the Senate of the impact that Australian workplace agreements have had on Australian workers? In particular, could the minister detail how AWAs have been used to strip workers of pay and conditions? What would reintroducing AWAs mean for employees, especially when their jobs are under threat from the global recession? Finally, would the reintroduction of AWAs mean the return of Work Choices?
