I thank the minister for his answer. I am aware that there has been consultation undertaken, but there was also a specific request from community organisations to ensure that we asked the question about the exposure drafts. I thank the minister for committing to that. Before we get into the amendments, I would now like to go—this sounds silly, I know—to some general questions that are more specific, if that is acceptable and if no-one else has any broader questions. I would like to clarify what activities will attract a no show, no pay penalty. Is it more than the work experience and training activities, and if it is, what are those activities?
