Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:09): Yes, I can. It has been reported that Mr Kivalu has indicated that he will plead guilty to blackmail charges stemming from the matters that came to light through the trade union royal commission. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator CASH: Those opposite—and, yet again, you can hear them today—have said, consistently, that the Heydon royal commission was a waste of time. Yet what we have coming out of the Heydon royal commission is 93 referrals. We now have the case of Mr Kivalu, and he has indicated that he will be pleading guilty to blackmail charges. Yet again those opposite conveniently deny the truth. All they ever do when matters like this are raised is deny, deny, deny. We know what the shadow minister, Mr O'Connor, thinks of this type of behaviour. He just dismisses concerns about abhorrent, unlawful behaviour on building sites by saying that the sector is a 'rough and tough industry'. (Time expired)
