I indicate that the opposition will be supporting the amendments moved by the member for Warringah. They go to many of the issues in this bill that we have indicated that we're very concerned about, including the definition of 'small business' or the cut-off point at which these intrusive and disruptive provisions can be visited upon a small business. Many of them have no idea this is coming. In terms of mandatory multi-employer bargaining and the other issues that we have raised that we've got very grave concerns about, we sought to address those in our amendments. A number of those issues are also sought to be addressed in the amendments moved by the member for Warringah, and the opposition will be supporting those amendments.
