Senate Urges Labour
“The federal government has promised to make more concessions in this respect. As the federal government reveals its new offer, I plead with organised labour to accept it in the national interest.
“The economy will remain in this condition. Collectively, we are taking multi-pronged measures to reverse disturbing economic indicators.”
