THE economic case used to justify the Federal Government's controversial workplace regime is based on a four-page literature review.

Treasury officials told a Senate committee in February that a document mapping out the economic case for workplace laws was "much longer" than a "scaled down" three-quarter-page briefing that was released to the media late last year under freedom-of-information laws.

But the "longer" document, provided to the The Age, is a four-page summary of 16 academic and Government papers supporting the Government's case.
