QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:45): With respect, Senator Mckenzie, you are asking me to speculate— Senator McKenzie: No, I'm not. Senator WONG: No, you are asking me to speculate on the finding of a royal commission which has not commenced and has not made any findings. We will, of course, engage with Victoria in relation to the royal commission, and we will await the royal commission doing its work as it should.

We will approach this in the way that I've outlined—that we believe there is no place for criminality or corruption on construction sites. Of course, the government would always look at the findings of a royal commission and take appropriate action. The PRESIDENT: I advise the chamber that Senator Payman has passed her question to Senator Thorpe.
