A panel to undertake the task is formed under section 34 of the Fair Work Act. The panel will consist of a representative of the House of Assembly, who will be the member for Morphett, and a representative of the Legislative Council, and it is proposed that Mr Bernard Finnigan be that representative. Other panel members are SA Unions, Business SA and the Commissioner for Public Employment. I have written to all three but I do not think I have yet received their nominations.</text>
