I'd like to associate myself with a similar sentiment to what's been expressed just now by the member for Goldstein. There are many elements of the amendments put forward by the member for Warringah and indeed by the member for Wentworth that I agree with. I have some disagreements on other elements, but the issue around the size of small business is I think a universal concern amongst virtually everyone I have spoken to—or have had the opportunity to speak to, in the very short period of time we've had to consider the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Bill 2022. We need to address the size that is indicated in the legislation around 'small business'. That absolutely needs to be negotiated in order to give me any comfort whatsoever that I can ever support this bill. Thank you.
