Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:49): Yes, I am. Many people may be aware that the CFMEU is currently running a series of completely dishonest television commercials that are, quite frankly, based around a work of fiction. Perhaps you would have seen it, Mr President. It makes a number of false claims about those people who may be questioned by the ABCC and their rights. Can I be very clear in relation to the television ads being run by the CFMEU? The powers that the CFMEU are now publicly complaining about in a series of television ads are the same powers that those on the other side—Labor, the people who do their bidding in the parliament—gave the Fair Work Building and Construction inspectorate. They are the same powers. Did the CFMEU run a series of television ads when those on the other side gave the Fair Work Building and Construction inspectorate these powers? The PRESIDENT: Order! Pause the clock. Senator Moore, on a point of order? Senator Moore: Mr President, I am just seeking to clarify: does this question come under the area of something that is already being discussed before the parliament? Is it anticipating the debate that we will be having in the parliament? Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! On my right. Senator Moore, I have been listening very carefully, and you may recall that regarding an earlier question I did remind the minister that she had to be careful in relation to this territory. Whilst I am not completely familiar with every detail of the bill, I do believe the minister has not gone to the pertinent detail of the bill. But I am listening carefully and I think the minister has taken heed of the earlier advice. Senator CASH: Again, it is a little ironic that in an election year the CFMEU are currently running a series of ads that are based on a false premise. But, worse than that, they did not run that series of ads when the former government gave the same powers to the Fair Work Building and Construction inspectorate. If that does not speak of a political stunt then I do not know what does. The CFMEU also forget that these powers that existed for years in other industries and with other regulators are the same types of powers that ASIC, APRA and the ACCC had. So, again, they never complained about those agencies having those powers and they never complained when former Prime Minister Gillard gave her regulator those powers. (Time expired)
