I assume that Senator Ayres is referring to his bill, and what I'm wanting to put on the table is what the government's view is around labour hire companies. My advice is that almost all labour hire companies use enterprise agreements that are signed off and by the CFMMEU. We support as a government an industrial relations system. The government doesn't set the wages; that's a negotiated outcome between workers.

H onourable senator interjecting—

Yes, let's remember who set up the Fair Work system that we're operating under!
