I am a 16-year-old seeking employment in the retail industry. I go along for a job, I ‘negotiate’ an AWA with my employer, David Jones, and we spend six hours or a week negotiating this agreement with all of the conditions that I have understood fully, argued out with the employer and put my name to. That is then sent for registration to the office of the Workplace Authority Director. He signs off on that. Minister, he signs off on that. I will wait until you have finished chattering.
