I thank Senator Byrne. I can give the reassurance formally on the floor of the House that there is no compulsory redeployment implicit in the legislation. The provision was included to facilitate cross-sectoral redeployment that does not exist at present and to facilitate the PAS in its role. Senator Byrne has correctly interpreted the legislation. Respect for all of the agreements will continue and that has been written into the Bill.
