I am actually talking to the cross benches at the moment—I talk to Senator Marshall regularly, Senator Abetz. This is commencing the award modernisation process. I appreciate where you are coming from but you are asking me to tell you what substantive rights apply to instruments which do not yet exist in terms of variation rights. I have indicated to you that my understanding is that these are issues which will be considered and addressed in the context of the development of the substantive bill. If I have any further information, we will come back to you.
