CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:35):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector on the topic of departmental workplace culture. Will the minister ensure the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment is fully empowered to negotiate scope, resources and timeframes for public sector employees within the CBS with the Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs and the Attorney-General's Department?</text>

MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:35):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I didn't quite understand the question, but I will try to answer it as best I can. I think the fact that there was such a thorough overview with such high participation rates shows the confidence that employees had in that review.</text>
