Mr. John Newham:

I will elaborate on that. Those questions have been put to the Commission and I refer to the previous point around precision being required in the directive. We need to know the exact rights that will be given to workers in respect of access to justice.

Regarding gender, it does not exclude gender but I know the criticism is that gender is not to the fore. The Senator is correct about the garment industry. The counterargument is that 25% of garment industry workers are men and the law applies to all. We have asked stakeholders in our engagement the precise suggestions they would make which we could provide to the Commission. We are awaiting answers on that.
