QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator KOVACIC (New South Wales) (15:01): Minister, may I say that we can handle the truth—we just haven't heard it yet. After everything that has now been uncovered about John Setka, the coalition has introduced legislation to allow him to be excluded indefinitely from holding office in a registered organisation where warranted. Will Labor support that legislation—yes or no?

If not, why should he ever be allowed back into a position of power in an Australian union?
