It's for the ACTU to decide how they express themselves, and I'm not going to say whether they're right or wrong, just as, if you present a quote from COSBOA, it's up to them what they say. What I'm saying is that every single day employer groups and unions make applications to the commission to vary the terms of an award that may have been decided years ago. That is normal practice, and that will apply here as well.
