I'm not sure that anyone will have modelled the likely number of applications. But, just as there are today, there will be unions and employer groups in the commission seeking to vary the terms and the conditions of an award, either to raise pay rates, reduce pay rates, add conditions, take away conditions. I'm sure some people will make use of this provision once it's passed.
