Belich Camilla; van Velden BrookeCAMILLA BELICH (Labour): Thanks to the Minister for her reflections on some of those questions. In relation to her previous comment I wanted to ask the Minister: will her consultation on the steps taken on engineered stone include a consultation on a proposed ban in relation to that?The other questions that I have are on a slightly different matter. I wanted to raise some of her responsibilities in relation to pay equity and also in relation to pay transparency. As Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety she has a role in the pay equity legislation that is before the House and would be aware that in the year under review there was a significant programme of pay equity settlements which were being undertaken. And I understand it's still progressing.The question that I had for the Minister was: when the Government said it was going to recommit to equal pay in a press release what did the Government mean when it said that it would recommit to equal pay"? So that's my first question.My second question is about the pay equity task force which in that same press release was disestablished. The pay equity task force had been operational in the year in review and had assisted with very complex pay equity settlements. I'm sure those of us who worked in that area know how complex pay equity settlements can be in terms of the expertise that is required to settle a pay equity claim and look at the different evidence and comparators that need to be taken into account before a settlement is made. So I wanted to ask her: how will she ensure that the resources and expertise that were held by the pay equity task force that this Government has disestablished will not be lost like they were when the last National Government discontinued the pay equity unit in 2009 in a very similar way?I also wanted to ask her about pay transparency and her plans in relation to that. She'll be aware that in the year under review it was announced the then Government was going to introduce a pay transparency regime that would require all businesses of 250 workers or more to conduct an audit of their workforce in relation to the pay that they received on gender. I wanted to ask in relation to her strategic intent on that particular matter what she intended to do in relation to pay transparency and whether that's a work programme that she will be considering. We know that that particular work programme exists in a number of other different countries and was ongoing at the time the year under review took place. So if the Minister could comment on those areas in relation to pay transparency and pay equity.Hon BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety): Thank you very much. Look it's a very exciting portfolio that I'm responsible for. I think we've heard from a range of nearly everything under the sun today but unfortunately there's not enough time to get through all of it.I just wanted to touch on your question regarding compliance with free-trade agreements. My officials and myself consider free-trade agreements and international obligations as part of advice that comes to me on a range of different issues.When it comes to the SageBush review and asking about how much progress has been made I'm very happy with the progress that WorkSafe has been making on implementing the recommendations. The board and the chief executive have made it a priority for the agency. I understand quite a few of the recommendations have already been closed out and the remainder are well on track to be met by the end of this year."
