INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
LEGISLATION AMENDMENT BILL 2021
767. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:
I have a supplementary question.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER: Order, please!
The Leader of the Liberal Party.
Dr D.J. HONEY: Why did the
minister and the Minister for Industrial Relations not remove unions'
power to enter private Western Australian households; and, is it simply another
example of WA Labor using its absolute majority to benefit its union mates?
Mr W.J. JOHNSTON
replied:
We will get to the consideration in
detail stage because the presentation the member has given is completely wrong.
Let me make it clear: last week, on Thursday, the member said —
At
the outset, on the nominal issue of dealing with modern slavery, obviously, on
this side we are concerned no more and no less than the government that
this is dealt with properly �
Yet the member voted against that.
The member personally, and the member next to him as well, voted that down.
