Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:48): I'm not surprised that Senator Cash is feeling a bit sensitive about scare campaigns, because most of them have come from her. Here are a few facts for Senator Cash. Minister Burke took the National Press Club through this the other day. In case Senator Cash missed it, I'm here to repeat it. The first scare campaign we have been hearing from the opposition is that this bill will produced coast-to-coast strikes. In actual fact the bill makes industrial action harder, with an additional requirement for mandatory conciliation before industrial action can be taken. Ballots need to be agreed on on an employer-by-employer basis, as per the current rules— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WATT: And don't they react! The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, please resume your seat. I'll wait until there is quiet. Senator WATT: And don't they react when the first of their scare campaigns gets called out. Do you know what? I have four more to go through. Their second scare campaign is about pattern bargaining. In actual fact the restrictions on taking industrial action when the bargaining representative is engaging in pattern bargaining are already in the Fair Work Act and they are not changing—not a word, not even a comma. In fact, what we're hearing from the opposition is a scare campaign about their own policy, and I have three more. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Grogan, a second supplementary question.
