Seeing that it appears to be a defined term, how is that a hypothetical? It is either ruled in or ruled out; it is not a hypothetical. Either the Voice can make a representation to the Fair Work Ombudsman under the government's understanding of what executive government of the Commonwealth means or it can't. I'm just asking for a simple yes or no answer. If the answer's no, that's great. We then rule that one out. But if it's yes, can we at least know so that we do know that that is one of the bodies? Is the Fair Work Commission a part of the executive government?
