In terms of what is included in the statement, I refer the senator to section 65(2) on page 50 of the National Employment Standards, which states:

(2)
The Fair Work Information Statement must contain information about the following:
(a)
the National Employment Standards;
(b)
modern awards;
(c)
agreement-making under this Act;
(d)
the right to freedom of association;
(e)
the role of Fair Work Australia.

So it is very clear what it must contain. The regulations may prescribe other matters and I am sure that those opposite will know the process by which regulations are made.
