I thank the parliamentary secretary for her answer but, once again, how is a small business in particular going to determine whether something is a new or significantly different practice that is required, especially if it is a new code of practice? Where in this document—and I may well have missed it so I will not allege anything—even if a small business were to happen upon the Safe Work website are they told that this transition period will go for 12 months? I cannot see it in the document.
