(b) take into account the following matters:

(i) whether the model term is broadly consistent with comparable terms in modern awards;

(ii) best practice workplace relations as determined by the FWC;

(iii) whether all persons and bodies have had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and make submissions to the FWC for consideration in determining the model term;

(iv) the operation of subsections 739(3), (4), (5) and (6) and 740(3) and (4);

(v) the object of this Act (see section 3);
