In relation to right of entry, our reforms will deliver on what Labor actually promised. Can I remind those opposite was Ms Gillard promised:

We will make sure that current right of entry provisions…

As of 2007.

…stay. We understand that entering on the premises of an employer needs to happen in an orderly way. We will keep the right of entry provisions.

Who could forget what she then said?

I'm happy to do whatever you would like. If you'd like me to pledge to resign, to sign a contract in blood, take a polygraph, bet my house on it, give you my mother as a hostage, whatever you like.

We know that Labor broke their promise and, as a result, we seek to implement a Labor's own policy.
