The Australian government is seeking support from crossbenchers to pass its industrial relations legislation, with Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley criticizing Minister Tony Burke's proposed changes as 'bad for workers' and the economy. The Labor party is negotiating with Senators Jacqui Lambie and David Pocock over the stalled legislation. In Queensland, the youth crime issue has been highlighted by the case of a teenager on bail for armed robbery, accused of fatally stabbing Vyleen White.
