Apart from the lecture on libertarian polices, for Senator Leyonhjelm to come in here and tell us about high achievers I think is an absolute joke. I would not put 'Leyonhjelm' and 'achievement' in the same sentence, but that is another issue. The issue that we have before us is, as I understand it, the removal of the reverse onus of proof for an employee who takes industrial action. That is based on a reasonable concern about an imminent risk to health and safety. Senator Leyonhjelm, maybe you could clarify that that is basically what this is about.
