Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:54): Yes, I am aware of such threats. In the first instance, the CFMEU are very happy with the current state of play in the industry. Why do we know that? Because they have donated more than $7 million to the Australian Labor Party since 2007—$7 million. In fact, $7 million is also the sum of money that the CFMEU have been fined. When you have in excess of 100 of your senior officials facing court or the Fair Work Commission on in excess of 1,000 charges, it is little wonder that those opposite do not want anything done within the sector. Senator Cameron: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Cameron on a point of order. Senator Cameron: This is fundamentally the debate that relates to the bill before the Senate today. The PRESIDENT: I have been listening intently and, as you would imagine, I am acutely aware of the parameters involved. The minister has not yet strayed over the line. I did warn her and she is complying with my request. Senator CASH: As I was saying, $7 million to the Australian Labor Party since 2007—ironically, as Senator Payne has noted, $7 million in fines paid for breaching workplace laws—but, unlike those on the other side, the CFMEU are not our puppet masters and we will not do what they say.
