Yes, I am. Many people may be aware that the CFMEU is currently running a series of completely dishonest television commercials that are, quite frankly, based around a work of fiction. Perhaps you would have seen it, Mr President. It makes a number of false claims about those people who may be questioned by the ABCC and their rights. Can I be very clear in relation to the television ads being run by the CFMEU? The powers that the CFMEU are now publicly complaining about in a series of television ads are the same powers that those on the other side—Labor, the people who do their bidding in the parliament—gave the Fair Work Building and Construction inspectorate. They are the same powers. Did the CFMEU run a series of television ads when those on the other side gave the Fair Work Building and Construction inspectorate these powers?
