You seem strangely indifferent to the practical problems that I'm presenting. Labor agrees with the intent of the legislation. We are concerned that there are some likely-to-be-unintended consequences of the government's approach. We've been constructively engaging, I think, to try to address those unintended consequences. This seems to be quite a big one. The government has acknowledged that high-risk occupations are a problem. I am saying to you that I think a process where individual letters are sent out to members to obtain data about their occupation so that they can meet this test just seems overly burdensome and cumbersome, particularly where there is an existing dataset held by the ATO.
