In terms of the number of employees—because, again, this is very, very important—if we go to 'reasonably comparable' you have said with certainty that it's 21 and you're out, we are no longer reasonably comparable. What happens if we're at 50? Are we ruling in or are we ruling out in terms of this example? Where are you drawing the line? This is now of great use to employers around Australia, because they will be able to say to the Fair Work Commission, 'Minister Watt has ruled us formally out on behalf of the government.' So at 21 we're ruled out; that's good news for those with 21. At 25, 35 or 50, what are you formally ruling in and ruling out by way of numbers?
