Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation and Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations) (14:46): I thank the member for Deakin for his ongoing interest in workplace relations. He knows, as everyone on this side of the House knows, that Labor is always upfront about its workplace relations policy. This week we announced that we want to extend the right to request flexible work arrangements to new categories of Australian workers: victims of domestic violence and people with caring responsibilities. We have announced today that we want to tackle workplace bullying. But I have also been asked: are there other policies? I can report to the House the rarely sighted opposition spokesperson for hiding workplace relations policies— The SPEAKER: The minister will refer to people by their correct titles. Mr Pyne: Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The minister was asked an original question about workplace bullying and he was heard in respectful silence. He then was asked a supplementary which bore very little relation to the answer he had given on bullying, and he is now straying into an attack on the opposition. Given the importance of workplace bullying and the record in this place, as you are well aware, of workplace bullying, which has resulted in the suicide of one of our former colleagues, I would ask you to urge him to be very careful— The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The minister has the call. Mr SHORTEN: The opposition spokesperson for workplace relations policies tweeted from the secret location of the Liberal policy bunker—location unknown: 'Another day, another announcement from #Bill Shorten MP, with no detail and promise of long consultation.' One thing I do like about the leader— Mrs BRONWYN BISHOP: Speaker, I rise in a point of order. I would refer you to page 569 of the Practice which shows that, when the change was made to have direct relevance, the rulings of speakers has been to rule out of order the sort of answer which the minister is giving, which is not in any way directly related to the question. It is an attack on opposition policy, which is out of order. The SPEAKER: The member for Mackellar will resume her seat. The minister has the call and will refer to that question in respect of bullying. Mr SHORTEN: The member for Deakin asked whether I was aware of other policies on workplace relations and I said that we have had a sighting of the opposition on workplace relations and I have quoted what they said. I do admire that it is clear that they have a sense of humour in the opposition, attacking us for no detail on workplace relations. It is only Tuesday and we have announced more policies on workplace relations than the opposition has announced in 2½ years. We are happy to have a debate on workplace relations on all the policies. Any place, any time; bring it on: let's talk workplace relations.
