I will keep it very brief. My apologies for coming in between speakers. I thank everyone for giving of their time and experience this morning. During the sessions we have had, it has been quite consistent that the Add the 10th Alliance has been part of many people's contributions. I was struck by the submission that made an attempt to define what socioeconomic status would look like. I ask the alliance and ICTU to speak a little bit about some of those potential grounds, such as poverty, source of income, illiteracy, level of education and employment status. How could those be characterised? Who would be responsible for setting out what they would look like? Perhaps the alliance could start, given that it was in its document.
