    Report: Impact of the WorkChoices Legislation

    The Hon. Jan Burnswoods tabled, as Chair, report No. 39, entitled "Impact of the WorkChoices Legislation", dated November 2006, together with transcripts of evidence, tabled documents, submissions, correspondence and answers to questions taken on notice.

    Report ordered to be printed.

    The Hon. JAN BURNSWOODS [11.05 a.m.]: I move:

    That the House take note of the report.

    The majority of the committee members and I are proud of this report. It places on the record the view of a large number of individuals and organisations in the community who are necessarily fearful of the impact of the Federal Government's WorkChoices legislation. The report calls for the repeal of that legislation and also makes a number of other recommendations in an attempt to ameliorate some of the effects of that terrible legislation. However, of course, the report is necessarily constrained by what the State Government can do to overcome such a power grab by the Federal Government. I thank the committee staff, in particular Julie Langsworth, for their support. I thank Merrin Thompson, who is on maternity leave, and congratulate her on the birth of her daughter, Poppy.

    Debate adjourned on motion by the Hon. Jan Burnswoods.
