Minister, I am told that the current UFU enterprise agreement is around 120 pages long—and someone else says it is around 200 pages. How can it possibly be padded out to 400 pages of terms and conditions of employment when, simply, it really includes managerial responsibilities as the Victorian government and the UFU admit. Isn't the core point here that a lazy state government will not face up to its statutory responsibility and is willing to further weaken this vital service provider by substituting the CFA statutory responsibilities with an EA?
