My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Senator Watt. I'm just going to be really sensitive here. It is about domestic violence. My heart goes out to you people. But there will be questions that we need to ask to make sure that we can get these policy settings correct. Senator, respectfully, I want to know how your government's proposal to introduce 10 days domestic violence leave will work in practice, so my first question is this: will employees have to tell their bosses that they are a victim of domestic violence in order to claim domestic violence leave?
