So we probably won't get anything, I'm assuming, which is a great shame. But we can do the analysis afterwards.

Senator Henderson was talking about numbers of employees in businesses. One of the amendments that was, I understand, negotiated with Senator Pocock—I think it was also the recommendation of the Labor members of the committee that looked into the bill—was increasing the employee headcount of businesses who will be excluded from multi-employer bargaining to 20. Can you confirm how the government came to this specific number?
