I think we need to understand that the 2012 Labor panel that the current Leader of the Opposition put together identifiedthat unions had acted in a way—and I have referred you to page 169 of your report—in a way that it justified this recommendation. In the event that the unions want to challenge an agreement that has been approved, as you appear to be referring to, they can challenge the approval of a greenfield agreement under the Fair Work Act and this position does not change with these amendments.
