That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Member for Perth from moving immediately that:

(a)   as these measures were not put before the Australian people in the run up to the 2004 election and are only now being pursued because the Government has total control of the Parliament;

(b)   as these proposals are based on a long standing ideological attachment by the Prime Minister and the Liberal Party to an un-Australian approach previously rejected by the Australian people and the Australian Parliament;

(c)   as the Government has made out no social or economic case for these changes; and

(d)   as the Government is arrogantly dismissive of the criticism and concerns expressed about the adverse consequences of the bill for the living standards of Australian families and for the Australian way of life;

should the Workplace Relations Amendment (Work Choices) Bill pass the Senate and receive assent, the Act and the actual operational impact of the extreme, unfair, and divisive industrial relations system it provides in practice be referred to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Employment, Workplace Relations and Workforce Participation for inquiry and report by 30 June 2007.
