With the support of the crossbench, you will be aware that late last year we restored the Australian Building and Construction Commission. And with the support of the crossbench, we restored law and order to the building and construction sector within Australia. We on this side of the chamber have said 'no' to deals being done between big unions and big employers. We have said enough is enough. It is time to level the playing field. It is time to stand up for the small and medium businesses in Australia. It is time to stand up for the small subcontractors. It is time to stand up for the mums and dads who are the victims of the deals done between big unions and big employers to the detriment of all Australians. Unlike those on the other side, we won't turn a blind eye to bullying, intimidation and thuggery, because that's not in the interests of all Australians.
