I will very briefly go back to the statement I made on the previous motion. The Labor Party sees this as a series of motions on the same issue and our position is that we will not be supporting any of them. The Leader of the Opposition has made it clear that the Labor Party does not agree with breaking the law. We are elected to this place to uphold the law. But we do believe that if the law is unjust or unfair then we should work to change the law. History has shown that changing the law does not happen on its own. It often requires people to campaign to make a case and to persuade others to elect people to places where they will fight for workers' rights. Our position on all three of these motions today remains the same.
