Milton Dick The question is that the amendments moved by the member for Goldstein be agreed to.

I would like to acknowledge again the personal conversations he and I had on this very matter in terms of what was a reasonable period of time for people to be employed in a business under a labour hire agreement before they should be looked at on a broader term.
