Mr President, I ask a supplementary question—I will have a go at bringing the minister back to the question. Can the minister confirm that the Maritime Union won the waterfront case in the High Court and that the government incurred more than $700,000 in legal costs? Does the minister accept that an accurate history of the waterfront dispute must and should reflect the fact that the union position was vindicated by that court? Will the minister tell her colleagues that the ABC cannot be asked to rewrite history just because the government is feeling political heat over its extreme industrial relations changes?
