The Australian Jobs Bill 2013 was one of the speeches I spoke on in Parliament recently. Below is part of an extract of the speech.

 "You certainly do not help Australian workers and
Australian jobs by passing a bill called the Australian Jobs Bill, although we
know that this government has some sort of fetish for Orwellian titles of its
bills. It thinks that by calling it the Australian Jobs Bill that, somehow, this
will create jobs in Australia. The coalition of course rejects such a proposal.
In fact, when you look through this legislation it really gives you the sense
that we are having a bill for a bill's sake—and certainly we have Bill at the
table at the moment, so maybe we are having a bill for a Bill's sake. But we
have grave concerns about this bill, which proposes meaningless changes to the
Australian Industry Participation plan." Click here to read the full speech.
