Thank you, Mr President. Can I then turn to the specific issue in the question and, as I answered yesterday, the only way an employee's wages can be reduced is if the workers and the employer agree in an enterprise agreement to do so or if the Fair Work Commission were to rule and make a decision accordingly. As I said yesterday, I doubt that either of those scenarios would occur. Is it a hypothetical? Yes. Will it occur? No. (Time expired)
