In response—and again I note that you were very brief given the time—we think this legislation does the job. As you have said in relation to subclause (e), it covers all. As you have also said, it does provide for the views of employers to be taken into consideration. It does do that. We are not going to redraft this on the floor of the Senate. Of course we have faith that Fair Work Australia will interpret it in the way it is written and certainly that employers’ views will be taken into consideration.
