I thank the Minister. As the Minister outlined, it is critical that employers and unions are brought in to work with small companies that may not have HR department on what supports they can offer their valued employees. The step being taken by Government is showing the sort of compassion required in these circumstances. As part of the overall strategy across all Departments the Minister and I have mentioned, it is a step that will be meaningful to individual victims and, most important, build on the other supports that may be introduced in the near future.
