In fact, ACCI is one of the organisations that will have every ability under this legislation to prepare a template agreement for all small businesses to opt into under the cooperative workplaces stream. So are ACCI telling us that they oppose a wage rise—shock, horror; ACCI have always supported pay rises, haven't they? Are they also saying that they're not prepared to play their role as an employer group to design a template agreement that small businesses can sign up to? That would be a very interesting offer to their members.
