Sudmalis backtracks on workplace relations comment
30/8/2013
Yesterday, Mrs Sudmalis backtracked on her comment in a statement issued to the media.
"At last night's [the forum was actually held in the morning] candidates' forum, I incorrectly answered a question relating to workplace policy.
"The Coalition released our policy to improve the Fair Work laws in May this year: this is the only policy that would be implemented if a Coalition government was elected."
Federal Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten said Mrs Sudmalis's comments at the forum signalled the Coalition's intention to abolish penalty rates.
"Mr Abbott's candidate for Gilmore has let the cat out of the bag and told Australians the truth about the Liberals' plans for penalty rates after September 7," Mr Shorten said.
"Ann Sudmalis has made it clear that far from being dead and buried, the Liberals are raring to go with WorkChoices Mark II.
