Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given that the official auditors have refused to verify the union's books, declaring that they cannot say if the financial reports are 'in accordance with the Workplace Relations Act' and that they cannot 'obtain all the explanations required to form an opinion on the official report', will the minister take steps available to him under the Fair Work Act to ensure that administrators are appointed or does he intend to stonewall this to protect Mr Thomson?
