Howard gives no guarantee on parental leave.

Howard gives no guarantee on parental leave. :

"The Prime Minister has refused to guarantee that a ruling on working parents' entitlements will be included in changes to industrial relations legislation, despite pressure from the Federal Opposition."

Why would a prime minister ignore the considerations of a very solid, conservative commission , not given to irrational and unhelpful decisions? Why would a prime minister seek to over ride the IRC and over a matter which we put through there because it was important to us and our work place stability. We have a stable workforce which has been working systematically through the industrial issues and conditions. Why would a prime minister want to destabilise a work force which was reliable and productive? What are the benefits of a restless, unhappy workforce?
