There are lots of things that you don't seem to agree with. We have the Business Council, we have ACCI, we have employer groups, we have Clubs Australia and we have Master Builders all providing warnings and flagging concerns in relation to this legislation, none of which have been considered or accepted. Could you tell me why we risk freezing modern awards into static, outdated instruments that fail to reflect the nature of contemporary work and contemporary workplaces?
