I just have a question for the minister. I'm looking at some Roy Morgan data that talks about the age spread of union members. This is three years old. It shows that 35- to 49-year-olds are 19 per cent of the unionised work force, those who are 50 to 64 years old are 25 per cent of the unionised workforce and then those 65 years and above are 15 per cent of the unionised workforce. I just wonder if this is in some way also discriminatory against those who are members of unions. Has there been any consideration in respect of this bill consciously targeting union members who will not be eligible for this JobMaker supplement?
