I think no-one amongst us is always right. I guess that is the question that I'm asking you. Rather than asking if you agree or if you think the employer groups are right, my question is actually: do you have concerns that perhaps there are some issues with this legislation? Despite the fact that you went to the election with it and that the intent is to deliver, if it does create problems for workers and employers, particularly as it impacts flexibility and productivity, should we not pause to see whether we should make appropriate amendments to ensure that that does not occur?
