I just indicate that I cannot support the Greens amendment. I believe it is appropriate to leave it as is—to ‘take into account’ rather than to ‘give effect to’. I think there are legitimate issues of sovereignty in relation to this. To Senator Abetz—I will put him out of his misery—I say that my position in relation to the issue of an appropriate threshold for unfair dismissals is 20 full-time equivalent employees.

Question negatived.
