Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (12:30): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: The government recognises the introduction in some jurisdictions of an industrial manslaughter offence; however, before the Commonwealth determines a final position on this issue, it's important to first determine whether established general offences of criminal manslaughter in each jurisdiction and existing specific criminal offences in the workplace health and safety laws are working as intended. The government has commenced working with all jurisdictions to examine current enforcement, investigation and prosecution practices as a first step to driving changes that will safeguard Australian workplaces. The PRESIDENT: The question is that motion No. 644 be agreed to.
