Frontline Retail Workers

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (14:45): Supplementary: Attorney, why is the government seeking to make a two-tiered approach to protecting retail workers and ignoring others?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:46): We are not seeking to make a two-tiered approach in not recognising others. We do recognise the special role frontline retail workers have played during this pandemic and the brunt they have borne from sometimes unreasonably abusive shoppers.
