No opposition to AWA abolishment

19 February 2008

The Liberal party has agreed to drop demands that Labor retain individual Australian Workplace Agreements.

Former workplace relations minister Joe Hockey said, 'I don't think many ministers in cabinet were aware that you could be worse off under Work Choices and that you could actually have certain conditions taken away without compensation,'

And yet it took until this morning for the Liberal party to come to its senses despite coalition leaders Dr Nelson and Ms Bishop still wanting the AWA's to be retained.
