I could not let that contribution from Senator Cameron go. I assume that he just ran out of time making that contribution, because there is a list of breaches of human rights related to the construction sector that I have not heard from Senator Cameron.

I did not hear him complain about the breach of privacy, allegedly undertaken by an official from the CFMEU, relating to the release of the superannuation data of members of Cbus to the CFMEU so that they could have a little visit from CFMEU members and experience some of their rather unique recruiting strategies. I did not hear Senator Cameron talk about the right to privacy that those members of Cbus have. I did not hear Senator Cameron talk about the right to be free from physical harm—physical harm the workers at the Grocon construction site were put in danger of by the CFMEU and by the senator's famed friends in the construction union. I did not hear Senator Cameron talk about how people should be allowed to go about their legal course of business without the threats, intimidation, violence and criminality of the union movement—and particularly of the CFMEU—as occurred in Melbourne and as the Victorian Supreme Court found when it found the CFMEU guilty of criminal contempt.
