I am looking forward to an amendment being moved at some point. At some point we will get to an amendment, I suppose.

Senator Cash interjecting—

That is a very mature attitude! I will just put on record what the opposition spokeswoman for women said: 'At the rate you're going, I might as well call some divisions just for a bit of fun.' Just for a bit of fun, because, you know, we want to have a bit of fun on this piece of legislation!

Senator McEwen interjecting—

Yes. That the spokesperson for women thinks that this is a bit of fun says something about the attitude on that side. It was probably a bit of a mistake to say that, Senator Cash. I am advised that the act in fact covers employers who have fewer than 100 employees. However, it is the reporting requirement which is relevant to the threshold.
