Turning to another section of the act—and we will come back to the ABCC—before we hit the hard marker of 2 pm, I want to ask some questions in relation to supported bargaining, or the supported bargaining stream. Can the minister confirm which industries the government intends will be eligible to participate in the supported bargaining stream? I note, from the revised explanatory memorandum at page 168, reference is made to aged care, disability care and early childhood education. Is this an exhaustive list—in particular I am being asked by industries, 'Would we be an industry eligible to participate in the supported bargaining stream?'—and are there any other industries that may fall under this stream?
