The short answer to amendments (7), (21) and (24) is that the government remains committed to the implementation of Forward with Fairness and the $100,000 high-income threshold as indexed from 2007. In relation to amendments (22) and (23), the Fair Work Bill only includes non-monetary benefits where they are provided as part of an employee’s remuneration, and the government does not intend to depart from that. So, unfortunately, Senator Siewert, that is not comforting for you.
