I suggest to Senator Wong that after question time she goes straight to the Whip’s office and apologises for not using the word ‘extreme’ in the supplementary question. I think she used every description other than extreme, which seems to have become a necessity in opposition questions. What I think Senator Wong is suggesting is another wave of government advertising. I will pass that on to the Prime Minister—that Senator Wong and the Labor Party support another wave of advertising in this area. But can I suggest to Senator Wong that the award system was never explained by education campaigns to the workers of this country who had to wade through hundreds of pages and were never given educational time to have all these things explained to them. I will take Senator Wong’s helpful suggestion to the Prime Minister.
