McAnulty KieranHon KIERAN McANULTY (Labour): Thank you Madam Chair; I appreciate that. I've actually only had the one opportunity to speak to Part 2 so I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to speak to the title and commencement. I would like to know if the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety would consider a change to the name of the bill to Back to the Status Quo" because that is essentially what it does. It is not a critique of the content of the bill for I know that one cannot do that when proposing an alternative name; that would be a breach. But this is a fair description regardless of how one looks at it whether you look at it from the arguments of the Government or indeed from the Opposition because the Act that this bill seeks to repeal brought in a new provision by which workers can seek to improve conditions and improve wages. By repealing that—what this bill proposes—we go back to what things were before the Fair Pay Agreements Act came in. So "Back to the Status Quo" I feel is a fair alternative name and I would be interested if the Minister would consider that.Before fair pay agreements came in people were left to themselves on the whole to negotiate for improved wages and improved conditions. Now if we consider where we were before fair pay agreements came in in comparison to Australia who had the equivalent of fair pay agreements their wages and their conditions over a period of roughly 30 years improved considerably; New Zealand's did not. In this in repealing fair pay agreements we're going back to that situation which was before they came in the status quo and that is why I'm proposing that it be called "Back to the Status Quo". It is fair I think. It is fair from our perspective because it's very clear tonight that we've been critical of this approach because we don't believe that the situation before fair pay agreements came in—CHAIRPERSON (Barbara Kuriger): I am waiting for the member to come back to the title and commencement.Hon KIERAN McANULTY: The title and commencement—I've mentioned my proposed title on three occasions.CHAIRPERSON (Barbara Kuriger): You have; I'm waiting for you to come back to it.Hon KIERAN McANULTY: Again I'm proposing that the title of this be "Back to the Status Quo" which is my proposed amendment to the title of the bill Madam Chair and one which I would like to hear from the Minister on as to if she doesn't support it why not? And I was explaining that from our perspective this goes back to how it was and from the Government's perspective this goes back to how it was before fair pay agreements came in. I don't propose this to criticise; I propose this as a fair reflection of what this bill in proposing to repeal fair pay agreements is doing.CHAIRPERSON (Barbara Kuriger): Thank you. Can I just say before we take another call: in Speakers' ruling 127/3 "debating the preliminary causes at the end members should have some latitude to summarise". Now I'm not going to take too much leeway. I want it to relate to title and commencement but there is an opportunity to summarise and I'm going to be watching very closely. The reason we're letting it move a little bit broader in terms of timing is around the fact that there was no select committee. So with that Arena Williams."
