We were talking 21 and above; I understand the issue in relation to 20 and below. You can actually be compelled into the supported bargaining stream. We have a whole line of questions there in relation to compelling small businesses, but we are focusing on the single-interest test.

Can we then go back to geographical location? Putting aside comparability, we have to satisfy the common interest first. In questions to the department, we have got no further in relation to any guidance on what 'geographical location' actually means. So before we go through a set of specific questions, can you tell me what the government actually means by 'geographical location'?
