To hopefully break a deadlock here, under section 426—and given subclause (3), which you have just been through, so I will not repeat it—in subclause (4) it says that the FWA ‘may’, and I think we should not be putting overly restrictive abilities for third parties to make a claim. Fair Work Australia should be able to look at it and may take into account those items. So I think we can still allow Fair Work Australia to adjudicate on the issue. I do not think we want to overly restrict people from making a particular claim.
