I accept that that has largely gone. I accept that. I accept that the industrial relations commission doesn't have the same power to reach into the nook and cranny of every business that it used to have. I accept that. But in the end, the best protection for the worker, who feels he or she might be under pressure at his job, is the chance of another job. The chance of a better job.
That is the best protection. Not going off to some judge or industrial commission that might order your employer who you don't like or he doesn't like you to keep you in an unhappy partnership forever. So that is the best protection we can give people – the protection of an abundance of jobs.

oops.. someone is going to be in the dog house for the rest of the week
Seriously......and people vote for this pratt. That beggars belief coming from a member of the Government front bench. I think Tony Abbott and the real world parted ways some time ago.
