This brings everything into perspective, and on behalf of the opposition could I offer our condolences to the family and to team Nash and to all the friends of Harriet at this very difficult time. I am afraid that coming back to the business before us sounds pretty crude after what has happened, but we appreciate what you have done, Senator Nash.

Minister Cash, you previously mentioned agreements that did not comply and you mentioned Probuild. One of the clauses that are in the Probuild agreement says the following:

If Probuild employs five (5) or more tradespersons in any one classification it undertakes to employ an apprentice(s) or make arrangements to host an apprentice from an agreed accredited group apprenticeship scheme.

Minister, would this be code compliant?
