Speakers: Senator Jane Hume, Murray Furlong
Uh so the technical amendments document that you circulated at the National Workplace Relation Consultant Council that you referred to. Um is that something you can table?
I think I already have tabled it previously. At the last estimates, or is it possible on the we can table it again?
Uh yes, I would appreciate that. No problem. Um were there elements of that proposal that weren't adopted? For example, anything on fees or paid agents or AI disclosures?

Was uh in that document was there a request for the procurement preference in part nine?
