My colleague has just alerted me to the fact that I said ACTU. Of course, I meant CFMEU, which is a vile union led by what appears to be thugs and bullies. The two previous Labor speakers in this debate indicated in their speeches that Senator Cash was attacking the union. I simply point out that I can understand why workers have left the unions in droves. One of the reasons is that they do not want their money going to support the Labor Party, which is where the union money goes.
