Senator Gallacher, I completely reject the premise of your question. Again I go to the terms and conditions under which these employees are employed. They are workers that are engaged under an enterprise agreement that has been agreed between the employees and the employer, Aerocare, and the agreement itself has been approved by the independent Fair Work Commission.

Senator Gallacher, if you were made aware of any concerns in relation to this agreement, and certainly in relation to this particular person that you have raised, I would certainly hope that you have advised them to actually refer this to the Fair Work Ombudsman. Because, as I have said, I understand that the Fair Work Ombudsman is currently investigating the matters in the media reports.
