It is in relation to the agency reviewing the relevant employer's compliance with the act by seeking further information from the employer and the agency being able to do that on a random basis. I am looking at page 15 of the bill. One of the comments the minister made—in fact, I believe it was former minister Ellis—was that the agency would be able to conduct random checks of employers. A number of employers have raised concerns in relation to the ability to undertake random checks, and I would like some guidelines in terms of what are the random checks and how they are going to be undertaken.
