Senator Siewert anticipated what I was going to say. We set out in our Forward with Fairness policy implementation plan what the government intended to address in this bill, and we have done so. We have kept faith with those election commitments. We do have a policy to introduce a simple and balanced collective bargaining framework, and the government are currently consulting with a range of parties in relation to many issues relevant to the substantive legislation, including agreement making.
