Lambie, Sen Jacqui

Senator LAMBIE (Tasmania) (14:44): Instead of passing these bills, its own changes to law, the government is choosing to lump them into very complex and very contentious legislation, laws that go to changes to casual employees, the gig economy and a right of entry for union delegates—all this in an economy that is tanking. Minister, do you recognise that, by passing the four bills, the Senate crossbench was helping the government to do its job—that is, to make legislation better, something this government struggled to do all last week?
