My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Cash. On last night's ABC 7.30 report we heard harrowing details of what household brand Tip Top are doing to the truck drivers who deliver their bread. One family of a driver who has since died of lung cancer told how one night after returning to work after having a lung removed he called in sick but was told he was under contract. So he drove until he had to give up work altogether. Sadly, he died last year. When did the minister first become aware of the conditions experienced by Tip Top drivers? And what action has the minister taken since?
