Thank you very much, Senator Ayres, who saw the article. The Australian Services Union. Thank you very much. The article in itself is a bit of a beat-up given the fact that providers charging something on top of the fees—how else are they going to make money? How are they going to exist as a business? They obviously have a service fee for booking the support worker. One of the concerns that I have is it's being pushed by a union and the language is that it's about wage theft for providers. Is the other information that would need to be provided to the CEO potentially inclusive of union membership of its workers?
