QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:43): Thanks, Senator Payman. As I was mentioning, I am aware of the advocacy of a number of trade unions—in particular, the SDA, who, of course, do represent a lot of low-paid workers in the economy, in the retail sector. They were particularly prominent in advocating for the establishment of a fair work court.

We are now consulting on the design and key features of the proposed court to ensure that it improves the workplace relations dispute resolution system for all parties, including vulnerable workers. To my knowledge, no decision has yet been made specifically to incorporate that design feature that you're talking about, Senator Payman, but that is certainly something that we will be consulting on in the design of this package moving forward.

The PRESIDENT: Senator Payman, second supplementary?
