Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:20): Senator Wang, it may, depending on the circumstance of the particular case, and in general yes, it does. Senator Wang, you rightly point out the very serious matters which were found by the Heydon royal commission to be part of what the royal commissioner concluded to be a widespread culture within the trade union movement. Senator Cameron: Rubbish! Absolute rubbish! Senator BRANDIS: I hear Senator Doug Cameron interjecting volubly over there. Senator Doug Cameron probably has more to be ashamed of than most people. Senator Wang, that is why this government is committed to giving effect to the recommendations of the Heydon royal commission. Might I point out, as has been observed by others, that the recommendations of the Heydon royal commission are not based upon any contentious factual disputes. The findings of the— Senator Conroy: Defamatory slurs. They are smears, smears, smears. It is not based on any evidence. Senator BRANDIS: I will take that interjection, Senator Conroy. Senator Conroy said that the findings are not based on any evidence. Senator Conroy, they are based on admissions. Not only are they based on evidence; they are based on uncontroverted evidence, undisputed evidence, confessions and admissions. So, listen, there is no area of factual contention in relation to the findings of the royal commissioner Mr Heydon. There is a test of character now— Senator Conroy interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Pause the clock. Senator BRANDIS: For the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Bill Shorten, because Mr Shorten— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator BRANDIS: Very serious findings like the Clean Event case were found. Mr Shorten is uniquely well placed— (Time expired) Senator Cameron: Mr President, on a point of order: During the Attorney-General's response he indicated that I have 'more to be ashamed of than most'. This was in the context of corruption and bullying in the building and construction industry. This is clearly an aspersion on me. I think my record as a union official and my record in public life is clear. I have always stood up against bullying and intimidation. I have always stood up against corruption, and my record is clear on that and that should be withdrawn— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron, you have made your point. Senator Brandis, it would assist the chamber if you wanted to withdraw that remark.
