"Our approach is about solving problems. Will be pragmatic, won't be ideological, "he added.


When Abbott was pressed on whether the coalition would change industrial relations policy, he said, "Let's just wait and see."


Responding to reports that Andrew Robb was contacted directly by the companies who were raising concerns about the impact of laws and the rights of trading data to trade unions, said that he himself had not been contacted by firms.


"My door has not been overturned by people telling me about problems with the system. If there are problems with the system, let's hear from people who know about them, "he said.


"Is now up on companies to present. Where there are problems with the implementation and operation of the labour relations system at work, our approach will have about how to troubleshoot ".
