My understanding is that the advice we've provided to Fair Work Australia has been published by Fair Work Australia. Fair Work Australia wrote to the government and asked us to make a submission in relation to this case. We have done that and we will provide any information they seek. There's one element that wasn't a matter for Fair Work Australia to determine, and we've advised them of that—that was in relation to future budgeting. We have provided and we will continue to provide the information that Fair Work Australia requires in the determination of this case. The government have responded to the royal commission's recommendations, and we have said in response to the royal commission's recommendations that Fair Work Australia is the appropriate place for the determination of wages.
