Like Senator Watt, and I expect everyone else in this place, I am also concerned at reports that staff have not been paid their full entitlements, including superannuation. As I understand it, this is a contractual dispute between two parties and not about the financial viability of either party. In that circumstance, the staff should be paid their full entitlements. I would urge the parties that have not paid—and I understand that is an organisation by the name of HelpStreet—to fully pay their staff, to fully pay all of the entitlements that are due to their staff, because the staff had no part in this. They are not party to the dispute and they should be paid.
