I, and also on behalf of Senator Madigan, move:

That the following matter be referred to the Education and Employment References Committee for inquiry and report by 24 November 2014:

To consider the creation of a nationwide portable workplace entitlement scheme for long service leave and any other appropriate entitlements, taking into account:

(a) the number of Australian workers in insecure work;

(b) increased workplace mobility and increasingly precarious working conditions; and

(c) other related matters.
