Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his answer. Minister, further to your commitment to request the Prime Minister in that regard, I am aware that other aspects relating to these matters are on the COAG agenda. Would you agree to ask the Prime Minister to put this matter on the COAG agenda to assist in ensuring that justice is done and that a fair go is given to all those who had their wages stolen, misappropriated or mislaid simply because they were too disadvantaged and powerless to do anything about it? My own feeling is that if it is on the COAG agenda it can be driven a bit harder by the Prime Minister than it otherwise would be. I would appreciate your view on that suggestion.
