I welcome the Minister and wish her well in role. I also welcome those in the Visitors Gallery and compliment the work they have done over a long period of time. I also compliment Senators Bacik and Nash on the work they have done. They deserve great credit for having brought the Bill this far. It is not often we speak with one voice in the House, but today is one of those occasions and I welcome this. The self-employed people in this sector have been exploited for much too long. I am delighted we are getting to a point, I hope, where we will see a resolution to this problem. I hope the matter is not delayed and is expedited as soon as possible so these people will get their just entitlements.
