WA Liberal MPs led the charge to ensure Labor’s controversial industrial relations legislation will not pass Federal Parliament this year in a major blow to the Albanese Government.
The WA Liberals teamed up with the crossbench in the Senate to push out the reporting date of an inquiry into the laws that would close labour hire loopholes from February 1.
The crossbench said Labor had not given it enough time to scrutinise the Bill.
WA Liberal senator Matt O’Sullivan told The West Australian the inquiry would now be able to travel around the country to hear from affected businesses, particularly in WA.
“We know that the Bill does have a disproportionate impact on the resource companies in particular,” Senator O’Sullivan said.
