Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:04): I will actually take Senator Wong's interjection: 'Will these merely be allegations?' To answer your question—no, they won't. Yesterday the Federal Court of Australia made a finding in relation to the CFMEU. The CFMEU were fined $2.4 million. Can I just repeat that—$2.4 million for breaking the law for conducting illegal strike action on the Barangaroo building site. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator CASH: What do we hear? I was going to say deafening silence, but it's not, is it? What we have is a defence of the CFMEU, the most militant union in this country—a union that has no shame when it comes to undertaking some of the most disgusting and egregious behaviour and, in particular, when it comes to demeaning and degrading female inspectors on worksites. I, colleagues, am no longer allowed to say what they said because Senator Wong is offended by the words of inspectors of CFMEU officials being raised in this chamber, but she, along with other members of the Labor Party, make no defence at all. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Cameron on a point of order. Senator Cameron: The minister is actually misdirecting the Senate in relation to your order, Mr President. You determined that language shouldn't be used, and that should be made clear. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Cameron. In relation to the point of order, I intend at the end of question time today to rule on two matters that were raised by Senator Wong yesterday; so whether Senator Cash is anticipating what I may or may not say after question time, I don't know. Can I remind all senators to be very cognisant of the language they use in the chamber, and I have reminded ministers of this in the past. There is no point of order against the minister. Minister, you have the call. Senator CASH: Thank you very much. I do not hear anyone on the other side, even the feminists, mount a defence against the foul and abusive language used in particular by Luke Collier, a man who bashed his girlfriend—committed domestic violence. There is nothing said by those on the other side of the chamber, other than to stand here and defend the actions of the CFMEU. The PRESIDENT: Senator Hume, a supplementary question.
