The short answer is no. In terms of the kind of information, it would have to be founded in the claim. I think everybody would accept that the margins that are made by providers need to be appropriate. They need to support the provider, but they also need to support good jobs for the workers who are delivering those services. I think that is what the ASU New South Wales branch in this case are properly concerned about, and they think it should be the subject of public debate. It will no doubt be the focus of government attention in this area because it is an opportunity to make sure that public moneys are being expended in the most effective way possible for participants and also make sure that the government's other objectives in bringing people into the scheme are being achieved. But in terms of the operation of the scheme, of this act, the short answer is no.
