I have three questions for the minister. No. 1 is: is it correct that this bill will only apply to standard form contracts? My second question is: when the minister says that the House will not accept any amendments to the thresholds if these amendments are passed by the Senate, is the minister aware that Independent Contractors of Australia wants a limit of a million dollars or unlimited; and is he aware that it will be the government, and not the Senate, that will bear the criticism on this? My third question is: when he says that the government has agreed to a review in two years, is he simply referring to a referral to the Senate Economics Committee, in which case government approval is not necessarily required in any event?
