Thank you, Minister. I note your comment that there were concerns that it was possible for awards to be varied in a way or for payments to be varied in a particular way—rather than it actually happening. So it's a hypothetical. Why legislate in response to a hypothetical concern, whether or not that's a hypothetical union concern, rather than real decisions of the commission?
