What we have just seen is confirmation that this is a Sally McManus protection racket. The Labor Party has admitted that they did not want to deal with any of the motions dealing with Sally McManus and the ACTU in terms of that torch that was shone on her comments when she admitted the truth that the union movement does not believe in the rule of law and that the chief unionist in Australia does not believe in the rule of law. What we have here is the Labor Party trying cover it up, trying to hide it and trying to pretend that this chief unionist did not make those comments. So we have the Labor Party denying formality to different parties here in relation to comments made by their chief banker and their chief organiser because this unionist told the truth for once. This is a protection racket for the ACTU. (Time expired)
