EXHIBIT #T2 DRAFT ORDER

PN4

MS TISDALE: Thank you, Commissioner. The draft order includes the arbitrated safety net adjustments arising from both the May 2001 safety net review decision and the May 2002 safety net review decision. This is in line with the principles, as there are no employees covered by this award as yet. It was an award that was just put in place by the parties last year, so there is no - it does not have an actual effect on any people's pay, to put both of the last two safety net increases into the award.

PN5

THE COMMISSIONER: So there is no cost to anyone.

PN6

MS TISDALE: That is correct. There is no cost to any employer. In line with the principles, the wage related allowances have been adjusted in accordance with principle 5, and expense related allowances have been increased by CPI. The minimum payment for supported wages system has also been increased to $56 in line with the decision in PR918422. We give the commitment required in relation to absorption of the safety net increases. Now, the award has not yet been varied for safety net increases, so we would seek an operative date of today's date. If the Commission pleases.

PN7

THE COMMISSIONER: Thank you, Ms Tisdale. The application is granted. The matter is adjourned.
