Thank you, Minister, for that answer. That's a comfort, certainly, to know that these matters can be dealt with in awards as the changing technologies of work affect so many workers with caring responsibilities. My second question: we've similarly heard a great deal of evidence around Australia that many workers in industries like retail, hospitality and aged care need greater roster justice. They need predictable shifts, a say over shift changes and the chance to refuse extra hours or be paid appropriate penalty rates for working hours beyond contracted hours. How will this bill work to improve workers' rostering rights?
