I want to proceed with the ABCC. Minister, you are actually from Queensland. You're a senator representing Queensland. There has been a 50 per cent spike in the number of new investigations launched into alleged wrongdoing in the building sector in Queensland, more than any other state or territory. The militant construction union, the CFMMEU, was hit with 88 per cent of the $3 million in fines for breaches of the Fair Work Act imposed by the soon-to-be-defunct Australian Building and Construction Commission. Of the $5.1 million in fines the ABCC imposed in Queensland since it was restarted in December 2016, $4.4 million—or 87 per cent of these—were against the CFMMEU or its officials. How is this behaviour going to be dealt with in the bill?
