We do have in progress preparation for the introduction of legislation to protect independent contractors from the ravages of the trade union movement, and we will proceed with that. It is an amazing fact that there are now more independent contractors in this country than there are union members, and the Labor Party ought to wake up to the changes going on in the workplace. We will proceed with that legislation, but the Prime Minister has made it clear that we will not be taking any further major changes to the next election.
