Senator CHRIS EVANS (Western Australia—Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:05): Senator Abetz is again relying on newspaper articles that have been wrong and misleading for days now. I made it clear that we acted on that advice. I also confirmed for Senator Abetz that at all stages the Commonwealth government sought the termination of all industrial action. That was my recommendation. That was the submission made by the Commonwealth—that all industrial action be terminated. It argued that, if Fair Work Australia was not prepared to grant immediate termination, there be at least a suspension. But the Commonwealth argued strenuously— Senator Abetz: Ha ha! Senator CHRIS EVANS: Senator Abetz, read the transcript. Senator Abetz: I have. Senator CHRIS EVANS: The Commonwealth government, at my instruction to our advocates, argued at all times for full termination of all industrial action. (Time expired)
