I am not surprised we have ended up here. My answer to the member for Sturt is exactly the same as it was in the last sitting fortnight, when the opposition was out there trying to profit through smear and mud. I presume we will see it during this sitting fortnight as well. My answer in relation to matters that the member for Sturt refers to is there is a Fair Work Australia investigation in progress. That proper process should work through to its conclusion. I will continue to take that view consistently about Labor members in this parliament and about Liberal members in this parliament. Of course, the member for Sturt, the Leader of the Opposition and the opposition generally are stuck in hypocrisy on this question.
