Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:25): I think we're already at tedious repetition in question 3 for the day. I have already said that there is no place for thuggish behaviour, homophobic behaviour or any other outrageous behaviour in a workplace. Honourable senators interjecting— Senator WATT: I've got a whole list of comments from the judiciary about the ABCC, which I can run through if you want me to. I didn't finish what Justice North had to say about the ABCC. Senator Brockman: A point of order on direct relevance: the minister is clearly indicating he is about to go off a very narrow, very direct question. He is flagging it in advance. You should bring him back to the question. The PRESIDENT: I believe the minister is being relevant. He has referred to the union in question, and I will listen carefully to the remainder of his comments. Senator WATT: Here's a bit more of what Justice North had to say about the ABCC: For goodness sake, I don't know what the inspectorate is doing. Senator Brockman interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Brockman, I am not entertaining a point of order because it's the same point of order you just made. Please resume your seat. I indicated that I would listen to the minister's answer. Minister Watt. Senator WATT: All I can do is repeat the comments that I've made twice already in answer to the primary question and the first supplementary, which is that there is no place for thuggish behaviour, homophobic slurs in any workplace. Intimidation is not appropriate on a construction worksite. It is not appropriate on a parliamentary worksite. Senator McGrath interjecting— Senator WATT: Hello, Senator McGrath. And it is not appropriate on any other worksite. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Scarr, second supplementary?
