Continuing with section 40D, regarding subsection (b)(iii)—administrative and compliance costs for road transport industry participants—can you confirm when they become unreasonable? Then, in terms of the Fair Work Commission, section 40E(4) states that the president of the Fair Work Commission must consult and have regard to the views of the RTAG. What capacity will the president have to ignore, reject or overcome the advice of the RTAG? It's one thing for them to provide advice, but, based on what you've just said, if you look at section 40E(4), it merely states that the president must consult and have regard to the views. It does not say that the president needs to accept those views and then act on them.
