Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:46): I thank the Deputy Leader of the Opposition for her question, confirming as it does that the opposition could not sustain their argument for their refugee and asylum seeker policy for half of question time. The SPEAKER: Order! The Prime Minister will return to the question. Ms GILLARD: Of course, they cannot sustain it because it is founded on hypocrisy about the refugee convention and founded on the hypocrisy about assurances, so that has fallen away. The SPEAKER: Order! The Prime Minister will return to the question. Ms GILLARD: In answer to the deputy leader's question about Fair Work Australia, the deputy leader should look at the Fair Work Act. What she will see there is that Fair Work Australia is properly set up as an independent body. It regulates itself. It does not act at prime ministerial direction on these questions. That would be quite wrong.
