My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to a question asked by the member for Grayndler on 10 August about Tristar’s refusal to guarantee it would meet its redundancy obligations to its employees covered by a collective agreement. I also refer the Prime Minister to the Tristar employees in the gallery today. Is the Prime Minister aware that Tristar has now applied to terminate the collective agreement, which would see its redundancy obligations massively reduced? What does the Prime Minister say to Marty Peek in the gallery, who has worked for Tristar for 34 years and who stands to lose over $130,000 in redundancy entitlements as a result of Tristar’s actions?
