It's just extraordinary. I can't be more specific. Justice North went on to say this: that when the ABCC 'use public resources to bring the bar down to this level, it really calls into question the exercise of the discretion to proceed'.

That's what the Federal Court have had to say about these actions that the member raised, and I thank her very much for her question.
