Unfortunately, I am because, as we know, the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Bill Shorten, has already stated that if they are ever given the keys to the office in this place again, they will abolish the ABCC immediately and quite proudly. Why? Because they condone the behaviour of the CFMEU. Instead of being fined $2.4 million yesterday by the Federal Court, under Labor, the CFMEU would receive the fine of absolutely nothing, because the ABCC will be abolished by any future Labor government. Again, how can those on the other side come into this place and not stand up and condemn the behaviour, after the findings—decision after decision—of the Federal Court of unlawful behaviour by the most militant union in this country? It's because money talks.
