Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Human Services) (14:43): Frankly, I reject a number of the spurious assertions in Senator Cameron's question, which are just his normal trade union spin, and we are used to all of those. But it is disappointing that the Community and Public Sector Union continues to take industrial action while we are working towards this new agreement. Despite the union claims to the contrary, the number of staff who have actually participated in industrial action in the department has been relatively low to date— Senator Cameron interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, you have asked your question. Senator PAYNE: and I can assure you that we have taken steps to ensure that payments will not be affected by this industrial action. We have very well-established business continuity strategies and contingency plans to address any potential disruptions and to ensure that customers can continue to access services. These strategies have been deployed on five occasions in response to previous industrious action. Of course, further industrial action is currently underway and scheduled to continue until 26 June 2015. (Time expired)
