		<description><![CDATA[The Hon. MATTHEW MASON-COX: Mr Watson, I refer to your comment that WorkCover is such a good place to work and that is why so many people want to work there.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;To have a genuinely national system there will at some point need to be a rationalisation of the ten-plus State and Federal agencies and tribunals.  Industry, however, would have serious concerns with a new agency that diminished the functions and independence of key institutions within the WorkChoices workplace relations system such as the Australian Industrial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The gender pay gap is not just a &#8221;women&#8217;s problem&#8221; and legislation should be renamed the Workplace Equality Act to ditch the stereotype, the Federal Government&#8217;s equal opportunity agency has argued. It has also called for the power to target companies it believes are underpaying female staff and send in inspectors to conduct pay audits. [...]]]></description>
