QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator SHELDON (New South Wales—Chief Government Whip in the Senate) (15:00): The Fair Work Commission's minimum standards decision was enabled by the Albanese government's closing loopholes laws and is a milestone in delivering stronger protections and a fairer safety net for gig economy workers. Minister, how else is the government providing stronger protections for workers, and what are the biggest threats to this safety net?
