The programme for Government commits to the introduction of legislation to allow for collective bargaining rights. When will the industrial relations (amendment) (No. 2) Bill be presented? Can we with certainty look forward to its successful passage through the House in a short time? We have waited a long time for this to present.

Regarding the regulation of lobbying Bill, there is significant concern about the special relationship that has applied heretofore - perhaps continuing - between known and unknown lobbyists, some with close relationships with political entities in this institution, who swan and have swanned around this building over many years. This is a matter that needs to be addressed. There is great public concern about it. When will the regulation of lobbying Bill present? By the way, its heads were published.
