Once again, perhaps you could clarify for me. My understanding is that Australia has also agreed to review all remaining occupations within the next two years with the aim of further reducing the number of occupations or eliminating the requirement within five years. That is at annex 4, in the side letters. In relation to those occupations, we already have an agreement to remove the requirement for a mandatory skills assessment for the occupations of automotive electrician, cabinet-maker, carpenter, carpenter and joiner, diesel motor mechanic, electrician general, electrician special class, joiner, motor mechanic general, and motorcycle mechanic. How does annex 4 in the side letters fit in with the states and territories changing those laws?
