I will start again. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I refer the minister to his statement today that the Workplace Ombudsman will investigate allegations made by a young worker, Mr Gebert, that he was underpaid by an actor in the government’s Work Choices ad about young people. Is the minister aware of new allegations made by another worker, Mr Graham, about the same actor in the government’s Work Choices ads? Is the minister aware of the matters raised by Mr Graham’s father, which include:

It would amount to filling the boys with alcohol and then not having the money to pay them for wages. This went on—not paying them the full amount of money for the hours worked that they should have been paid for.
