Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:37): Whilst unions—and obviously it does excite their political subsidiary, the Australian Labor Party—fight against tax reductions for small businesses and propose an increase in taxes for individuals, the unions conveniently, despite their $1.5 billion asset base, despite their $900 million revenue stream each year, pay no tax—no tax at all! Unions should be using their privileged tax-free position to advocate for their members. Instead, what they now do, the union movement of 2017, when they talk about inequality, maybe they're talking about the inequality of having to pay tax when you're a business and not having to pay tax when you're a union. That's inequality if ever I've seen it. Senator Ian Macdonald interjecting— Senator Wong: I would ask Senator Macdonald to withdraw that. The PRESIDENT: Senator Macdonald, I didn't hear what may have been said, but I'm asking you, if you did say something unparliamentary, please withdraw. Senator Ian Macdonald: I said that it exposes them for the crims that they are, but, if that's unparliamentary, I withdraw it. The PRESIDENT: Thank you. All senators should withdraw unconditionally.
