Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:18): The $100,000 donation made to GetUp! is provided by the members of the AWU, hardworking Australians whose union should act in their best interests, not in its own. It is unconscionable that their membership fees could be spent on boosting Mr Shorten's political profile rather than fighting for their best interests. As senators will recall, HSU members' money was spent by Craig Thomson, as national secretary of that union, on his own political campaign, without authorisation of the union's rules. Again, Mr Shorten needs to answer the questions: was the $100,000 donation from the AWU authorised under the union rules, and did Mr Shorten declare a conflict of interest? The PRESIDENT: Senator Paterson, a final supplementary question.
