Senate debates Statements by Senators
South Korea: Transport Industry
Glenn Sterle WA, Australian Labor Party
1:59 pm
I want to talk about the disgraceful behaviour of the South Korean government and the way they are screwing the absolute most out of South Korean truck drivers. They are beating them, they are locking them up, they are throwing them in jail—and all South Korean truck drivers want is a safe remuneration rate. They want to go home to their family safe. They do not want to be locked up just because they want to be sustainable. I seek leave to continue my remarks on this disgraceful behaviour by a country that Australia has just signed a free trade agreement with.
Stephen Parry President
Thank you, Senator Sterle. Leave cannot be granted for that request. It being 2 pm, we move to questions without notice.
