QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WALSH (Victoria—Minister for Early Childhood Education and Minister for Youth) (15:02): Again, the government have taken the strongest action possible when it comes to the CFMEU and we have taken strong action when it comes to Mr Setka as well. And it is clear that the administrator has achieved more progress towards cleaning up this union in the last couple of years than the coalition and the failed ABCC ever did.

You had almost a decade to take action and to do something about corruption, about criminality, about violence in the construction industry. You talk a good game but you achieved absolutely nothing. What we have done is pass legislation to be able to put this union into administration.

We have appointed an administrator and the administrator is doing his job. Senator Wong: President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
