I don't think I said I dismissed it; I said I disagree with their views. We could not have been clearer before the election what we intended to do here. In fact, I think I remember announcing this policy on Easter Sunday. Was it Easter Sunday? It was certainly over the Easter holidays. I remember all the employer groups disagreeing with it, opposing it, campaigning against it. The Australian people had their say, and now it's our role to fulfil that commitment.
