Fed: AWAs gone, but we still want individual contracts - Nelson

BRENDAN NELSON says the opposition has no problems with the abolition of Australian
Workplace Agreements.

But he says the coalition supports statutory individual agreements with a no-disadvantage test.

Dr NELSON says the former government realised too late that removing the no-disadvantage
test was a mistake.

He says the coalition also believes strongly in small business exemptions from unfair
dismissal laws and retention of the Australian Building and Construction Commission.
