Minister, I note your disagreement with the BCA on this matter. Speaking about another industry group or industry employer, ACCI, their evidence suggests that small businesses will face repetitive manual reconciliations based on this legislation, only to deliver lower pay outcomes. How do you respond to that, particularly given that this is yet another significant employer group that is pointing to the challenges or the unintended consequences, perhaps, of this legislation?
