You haven't. It was not part of this; you're not interested; you're just passing the buck to the states. They deal with payroll tax. If you put out a bill like this, you have to take into consideration the impact it's going to have on businesses, whether they can afford it or not. I will tell you now, this is going to have an impact on businesses that will have to reduce their staff because they won't be able to afford the overheads and the costs. This is something I have been on about for years and years, about the unfair payroll tax which is destroying workers. They are not employing more staff because they can't afford it with that unfair tax. Tell me also, when an agreement is not reached, can protected industrial action commence?
