Let us move on to what I was actually asking, which is about the penalty provisions. I understand that you are saying that an employer in that position faces a voiding of the agreement and the employee can recover the entitlements which would be owed otherwise under the relevant award because the agreement is not there. But that is not the same as a civil penalty provision; correct?
