Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:30): There is one great obstacle to protecting union members from corrupt union bosses and that has been the stance of Labor and Greens senators in this place. If these reforms are good enough for union and labour leaders such as Fair Work Commissioner Ian Cambridge, former National Secretary of the Australian Workers' Union Paul Howes, former Labor Attorney-General Robert McClelland, former ACTU Presidents and Labor ministers Martin Ferguson and Simon Crean, why are they not good enough for Mr Shorten, the Australian Labor Party and the Greens? Senator Conroy interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Conroy! Senator ABETZ: Clearly, they have learnt nothing from the interim report of the Hayden royal commission or from Mr Craig Thomson and Mr Michael Williamson. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator ABETZ: The interjections from those opposite tell you everything the Australian people need to know. They will continue the racket. We seek to stop it.
