Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Manager of Opposition Business in the House) Share this | Hansard source

I assure you, Mr Deputy Speaker, that I certainly do. What is not before the courts is the fact that I asked questions of the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister dismissed them out of hand. What is not before the courts is the fact that a busload of workers from Tristar came here last year. I asked a question while they were in the gallery and the government refused to see them. That is a fact. That is not before the courts; that is an absolute fact. The minister opposite said that he wanted more time in the Main Committee and in this chamber to talk about industrial relations. He suggested that. I took it up. The first time I did there were objections, points of order and attempts to shut down debate.
