2007: Year of Industrial Relations

Labor's Deputy Leader Julia Gillard says industrial relations could be the issue that decides the 2007 federal election.

"Industrial relations will be a prominent issue because Australians are worried about it," Gillard said.

"People are worried about the impact of these laws on themselves but as much as that or perhaps even more they are worried about the impact on their kids in the long term."

"The 2007 election won't be a one issue election, there will be other issues," she said.

"Climate change of course will be big in people's minds, ending the commonwealth-state blame game ... but industrial relations will be in the mix and it will be a vote changer."
