I wish to come in briefly to suggest the following. If we have legislation to ensure it is a statutory obligation to have a policy and for employers to behave reasonably, and if a code of practice is developed by the Workplace Relations Commission, which may be relevant to adjudication, so we are therefore moving beyond the existing scope of adjudication in the Bill to test something with reference to this code, would that not be a significant strengthening of this legislation? I believe it would.
