Return to Work Scheme

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:19): Further supplementary: when did the government first consult with the unions over their legislation that they introduced in this place?

The PRESIDENT: Just before the minister answers, it is one thing to ask questions about the scheme, but not to ask questions about the legislation.

The Hon. C. BONAROS: I will rephrase that.

The PRESIDENT: Thanks, the Hon. Ms Bonaros.

The Hon. C. BONAROS: When did the minister first consult the unions over the revised Return to Work scheme?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:19): I thank the honourable member for her question. I don't remember the exact day, but in the last week.
