I'm not going to give a step-by-step process on how someone enters into an IFA. The Fair Work Commission has plenty of explanatory materials on their website for those who choose to do so. The more these questions get asked, the more I question whether the opposition actually supports the principle of this bill, which is simply about protecting penalty rates in awards. That's what it's about. If you question that, then you are saying that penalty rates should be able to be removed from awards. I'm surprised that that's the position of the opposition.
