I want to ask questions, firstly, of Senator Cameron as the mover of these amendments. The minister made the assertion that this could apply to a prospective employee and that a business could be sued or could be subject to prosecution if it relates to something such as the travel costs of going to a job interview. As I read the legislative regime that this seeks to amend, I'm just trying to understand whether Senator Cameron is saying that that's what these amendments are purporting to do. Under what circumstances does he say this will operate? Could I get clarification from the minister about whether it would be that broad, because that would seem surprising in the context of the legislative framework for this bill.
