Mr LITTLEPROUD (Maranoa—Leader of the Nationals) (14:28): My question is to the minister representing the minister for agriculture. I refer to a northern Australian family cattle property that employs 21 ringers and station hands. Under Labor's industrial relations changes, if a representative for cattle ringers and station hands from that property successfully applies to the Fair Work Commission to bargain a single-interest employer agreement, could all similar family cattle properties in northern Australia be forced into multiple-employer bargaining? Mr Burke: On a point of order, the question goes specifically to the interaction of businesses with a piece of legislation that is entirely within a different portfolio; it happens to be mine, but this question is directed to the wrong minister. Mr Fletcher: On the point of order, it's very clear that what this goes to is the impact on businesses within the sector for which the minister representing the minister for agriculture is responsible, and that is why she is the appropriate minister to be asked this question and to answer it. The SPEAKER: This issue has come up a couple of times this week. Practice makes it clear, on page 549, that where a question may involve the responsibility of more than one minister it should be directed to the minister most responsible. However, a minister may direct his or her answer without question. I will allow the minister, under the standing orders, to answer the question and then another minister may respond as well.
