Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Only Australian Disability Enterprises that are funded in part by the federal government use the Business Services Wage Assessment Tool. Given that this means that some intellectually disabled workers are being paid as little as $1 per hour, will the government implement the supported wage system that other employers of disabled people use and which pays more, appropriately based on productivity?
