Bills wrap-up: EO through Lower House; RO debate "truncated"; EMA bill; & more

The Federal Government's equal opportunity bill is through the Lower House, while the Opposition has accused the Government of truncating debate on Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten's union accountability legislation and criticised as "nonsense" the six-day deadline for the bill's Senate inquiry. Greens MP Adam Bandt has meanwhile introduced his EMA legislation into parliament, and the O'Farrell Government's workers compensation bill is through the NSW Lower House.
