Senator SIEWERT (10:53 PM) —I indicate that the Greens will be supporting these amendments. They are important in addressing key issues regulating the TCF industry and outworkers and the TCF awards and outworker terms. There need to be clear limitations on what TCF award terms relating to outworkers can be excluded from agreements and only the minimum terms and conditions of employees should be allowed to be varied by an agreement, for example, in allowing improvements to pay. So overall we think that in fact these are good amendments and we will be supporting them.

Question agreed to.
