I was keen to understand the decision of the government in relation to this memorandum of understanding, which forces overseas workers to sign up to a union in order for them to be able to join the Australian aged-care workforce. I'm just wondering whether you have done any modelling or have any understanding in relation to the likelihood of that being a barrier for international care workers to choose to come and work in the aged-care sector in Australia.
