My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. On Thursday last week, at a press conference, the Prime Minister was asked: 'Prime Minister, what did you make of the treatment of women in those allegations that surfaced from that 60 Minutes report?' The Prime Minister's answer was: 'Oh, they were appalling.' He then moved on to take the next question. Minister, do the women bashed, harassed and treated appallingly by CFMEU members in that 60 Minutes report not deserve more than four words from the Prime Minister? Doesn't the Prime Minister of our country have more to say than just four words on this matter of national importance, which is tearing our construction industry apart and costing Australians billions of dollars?
