Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:27): Thank you, Senator Sheldon. For starters, we intervene in court cases when workers' rights are on the line. We intervened in this court case and took a position because Qantas did the wrong thing. What did we see from the coalition government when they were in power? When cases went to the High Court, they did sometimes intervene. They intervened to undermine agreed conditions in enterprise agreements. They intervened to cut the rights of casuals and shiftworkers. In contrast, the Albanese government is determined to close the loopholes, and we look forward to certain groups who say they care for workers—hello, Senator Hanson, Senator Roberts and Senator Pocock—voting with us to make sure that stops. The PRE SIDENT: Minister, please direct your comments to the chair. Senator WATT: The Albanese government is acting to close various loopholes, like criminalising wage theft, getting rid of the idea of forced permanent casual workers, and giving casual workers who are working like they're permanent a chance to convert to permanent employment. As I say, we look forward to all parties in this chamber who say they care about workers voting with us and getting on with it this year. (Time expired)
