Senator Cameron, I cannot comment on what Ms Nolan may or may not have done. I understand she appeared before the Senate committee and I am assuming that you would have had the opportunity to question her in relation to that.

But one of the issues that has been raised is the ability of the VFBV to provide a submission to the Fair Work Commission. It was not able to in this case. That is why part of what we are doing here today will ensure that going forward volunteer bodies are able to provide submissions in cases like this.
