The government is committed to having individual flexibility arrangements, and I think the Greens are well aware of that. In Forward with Fairness, the Fair Work Bill delivers on that commitment. In addition—and I think Senator Siewert recognises this—the government has agreed with the Australian Greens that the transitional and consequential legislation will require Fair Work Australia to conduct a review of modern awards after two years. I also point to the amendments on sheet PD364, which were moved yesterday, particularly amendments (14) to (17), which deal with the issues that I have outlined.

Question negatived.
