My question is to the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations. I refer the minister to reports in today's Australian that the financial statements for the Health Services Union—the union previously headed by Mr Craig Thomson—disclose that the union is insolvent. Given the Prime Minister's comments this morning, can the minister as a matter of urgency advise the Senate of the status of Fair Work Australia's investigation into the affairs of the HSU and in particular the solvency of the union?
