Australians and Australian workers must have the utmost confidence that their superannuation that is being put aside for their retirement is not being donated to partisan campaigns. Over the last 10 years—senators may be interested—$53 million has been paid by industry super funds to unions. Over the same 10 years unions have paid around $65 million to the ALP. This is the retirement savings of hardworking Australians. Mr Shorten, as we now know, based on today's disclosures, is very, very familiar with how this money trail works, which makes it even more important that he comes clean with the Australian people and explains not one, not two, but three conflicts of interest. The members of the super fund and the AWU deserve nothing less.
