Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister Assisting on Queensland Floods Recovery) (14:20): I do know that they have no faith in the coalition because they still remain concerned that the coalition may continue to bring back Work Choices. I suspect it is on their wish list. When you look at how it would undermine the award system— Senator Ronaldson: I rise on a point of order on relevance, Mr President. My question was: why should low-paid hospital cleaners, orderlies and attendants have any faith in the impartiality and integrity of the Fair Work Australia investigation? Senator Jacinta Collins: On the point of order, Mr President, Senator Ludwig is directly dealing with the issues here. He is talking about the confidence that we should have in Fair Work Australia and, indeed, the track record of the other side and what confidence people should have in the alternative. The PRESIDENT: Senator Ludwig, whilst you have been going 17 seconds, I do remind you of the question and there are 43 seconds remaining. Senator LUDWIG: Thank you, Mr President. As I was saying, the risk to low-paid hospital workers is from those opposite with their wish to bring back Work Choices. When you look at Work Choices' impacts, which undermined the award system, which stripped away workplace relations conditions and which used AWAs, low-paid hospital workers know the risk from those opposite. Senator Ronaldson: Mr President, I raise a point of order on relevance. The question clearly referred to the not yet finalised investigation into the member for Dobell, Mr Thomson. It had nothing to do with anything else. I ask you to draw the minister's attention to the question and ask him to answer it. The PRESIDENT: I drew the minister's attention at the 47-second mark to the need to respond to the question. There are 22 seconds remaining, Minister, and I draw your attention to the question. Senator LUDWIG: Thank you, Mr President. In terms of the low-paid workers in hospital systems, they can have complete confidence in Fair Work Australia's ability as an independent body to manage the fair work legislation, unlike what the opposition may put to them, which is Work Choices mark 2.
