Thank you, Mr Deputy President. I am seeking to explain some of the context and the facts in this matter. The opposition accused Fair Work Australia of being part of a political conspiracy but then praised the reports that were released as thorough, respected and methodical. But they misrepresented the content, as explained by the amendment that was moved with this motion. They have fallen over themselves raising pseudolegal arguments to criticise the actions of the general manager, but then refused to acknowledge the basic principle at stake here—and that is that allegations like these must be tested and determined in the courts.
