Obviously, it is quite an important issue for many of the stakeholders and I would appreciate it if you could inform the chamber as to who will be parties to the awards. I think that it is pretty important in the discussion of this bill, because it is about award modernisation and it is a key part of that. This too may need some further clarification during the dinner break, but I would also like to ask how awards get varied. Section 576H allows for variation but it is only through the award modernisation process. Can parties make applications for variations?
