It would appear that Senator Colbeck is basing his assertions on the modelling that was undertaken by Deloitte Access Economics. The report is based on a whole lot of false assumptions. It assumes, for instance, that people should be able to operate in breach of the law. That is not the basis on which to run a modern economy. It is not the basis on which to ensure that we get a fair go for Australian workers. Senator Colbeck, if you assume that Tasmania is going to be protected on the basis of breaking the law, you are wrong. (Time expired)
