I must admit that I anticipated that the government would not be supporting amendments (1) to (3). However, there is an issue that I raised during my earlier comments and which is also contained in a letter that we received from Minister Gillard. I would just like the minister to confirm that the government has agreed to review, as part of the series of reviews, the way that the right-to-request provisions have operated to see whether the manner in which they are written in the bill is effective and whether people are able to use those provisions to successfully request flexible working agreements.
