Fair Work Amendment (Transfer of Business) Bill 2012; In Committee

Can the minister advise the Senate whether the review panel of the Fair Work Act had before it the bill we are discussing today? The answer to that is no. Therefore, to try to rely on the review panel's consideration of the Fair Work Act in circumstances where this bill had not even been considered, let alone put before it, and no submissions of this nature put before the review panel, is less than disingenuous.
