</td> legal advice
It is clear from this statement that the government was, indeed, prepared to undertake consultation. But this consultation was with the distribution and retail water entities about this legislation—the employers, but not the employees. Just as this minister will not tell us about certain informal legal advice and as to whether he was advised to consult with unions, I am doubtful that he will tell us what these estimated savings are from. As I said at the outset, the Labor opposition is not able to support this legislation. It is without precedent and without consultation. It is the third legislative strike by this government on workers’ rights.
