These are the Australian Greens amendments. I thought that those proposing amendments should have questions to discover what the amendments are about asked of them. In relation to the matter that the senator quite rightly raises, we have determined that it should be on a pro rata basis, so that if somebody were earning, say, $40,000 part-time but the full-time equivalent were $80,000 then they would not be covered.
