Thanks so much, Mr Speaker. I'll tell you what residential housing didn't need. I am yet to see a residential house that wasn't built because there was a union sticker in the corner of a safety sign. I am yet to see a home that couldn't be built because of the flag that was flying at a site. I am yet to see any relevance of the obsessions of the ABCC to whether or not someone's home gets built.
