        (i)    to distribute payments made to it under the agreement, or
               amounts attributable to those payments, on the advice of a
               specified tripartite body (that is, a body on which the State
               or Territory, employers and trade unions are represented); and

        (ii)   to ensure that the payments, or amounts attributable to the
