INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT BILL
2021
748. Dr D.J. HONEY to the minister representing the Minister
for Industrial Relations:
(1) Can the
minister confirm that under the Industrial Relations Legislation Amendment Bill
2021 before the Parliament, WA Labor intends to allow union officials to
potentially access Western Australians' private homes or farms if any
work has been done?
(2) Can he
confirm that when he was the minister, he promised to clarify beyond doubt that
union officials will not access Western Australians' private homes, but
that he has failed to do so in this bill?
The SPEAKER: You may be referring to the wrong
minister, but I call upon the minister representing the Minister for Industrial
Relations.
Dr A.D. BUTI replied:
Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. The Rip Van Winkle of WA
politics, the member for Cottesloe, has just woken up.
I have never been the Minister for Industrial Relations, and
put the question on notice.
