I answered in one of my previous answers that what's known as the committee of industrial legislation process, which is a formal mechanism that the government has consulted for some time when it comes to workplace relations legislation, involves consultation with states, territories, employer groups and unions. I think I said previously they were confidential discussions. I'm advised that the process there is that all participants in that process sign a nondisclosure agreement that lasts for 12 months and covers every bit of legislation that comes up in the meantime. We followed the standard practice.
