Australian Democrats Senators' Report

This Inquiry has addressed four bills introduced by the Government in June. With some variations, all four of the bills have been drawn from provisions in the Workplace Relations Legislation Amendment (More Jobs Better Pay) Bill 1999. That bill was the subject of an extensive inquiry by this Committee. My report to that Inquiry dealt with all of the schedules to that bill. The comments that I made at that time on the merits of the various schedules by and large continue to apply to these bills which reflect those schedules.

The Democrats may move amendments to some of these bills, particularly after reflecting on the evidence presented to this Inquiry.

The Democrats reserve our final position on these bills until we debate the bills in the Senate.

 

Senator Andrew Murray
