My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Senator Watt. I refer the minister to two statements the department put out on Tuesday night saying they did not actually rely on the website of a modern-day spiritual healer when calculating the cost of a bargaining consultant. Is it just an amazing coincidence that the figure of $175 an hour that his department uses in the report is the figure mentioned on the modern-day spiritual healer's website which the department provides as a reference in the regulatory impact statement? Will the minister take responsibility for this appalling error?
