Labor stares down industry revolt as it races the clock to pass swathe of laws | CroweDM

Labor is staring down an industry revolt over its workplace changes in a bid to gain victory for its agenda within two weeks, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese flatly declaring his critics are “wrong every time” in their complaints about the reform.

“Now, of course, there are those who oppose these changes,” he will say of the Labor record on industrial relations. Parliament resumes on Monday for the final sitting fortnight for the year with the government yet to secure the numbers for the workplace bill and also facing calls for amendments to the draft law to create a national anti-corruption commission and new tax breaks on electric vehicles.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton linked the energy cost pressure to the workplace agenda by saying the government “doesn’t know what it is that they want to do” on gas and risked damaging the economy on industrial relations.“You’ve got a situation where the government is trying to impose an economy-wide 1970s-style industrial relations system at exactly the wrong time,” he said.

ACT Senator David Pocock wants the government to split the bill to allow more time to debate the most complex changes while passing the sections that seek to help workers on lower salaries.
