Federal government to disclose entitlements lost under Work Choices

11 December 2007

Workplace Relations Minister Julia Gillard said Australian's had a right to know what the cost of the former Howard Government's Work Choices program was going to be to Australian workers.

Speaking on ABC radio, Ms Gillard said, "I have sought advice about how we can make sure the maximum amount of information gets out in the public domain,"

"Of course we're not talking about individual details, people's names and addresses, but we're talking about statistical analysis so people know exactly what Work Choices cost the Australian community.
