Again, those opposite seem to miss one of the significant points: Fair Work Australia is an independent body. It is charged with looking after the relevant obligations it has under the Fair Work legislation. In terms of the specific issue you have raised, obviously I am not the minister responsible for referring a particular matter. I can ask Mr Shorten whether he wants to provide a response in relation to the supplementary question asked by the opposition today. But, again, if the opposition do have any evidence in relation to wrongdoings of any organisation then it is incumbent upon them to provide that information to Fair Work Australia.
