Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:01): I thank Senator Wong for the question. As I indicated yesterday, the claims against Mr Hadgkiss were first brought to my attention in October 2016, when the CFMEU sought to add the Commonwealth as a respondent to the proceedings. These were allegations and they were contested at the time. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, a supplementary question.
