Senator LAMBIE (Tasmania) (15:16): John Setka is out there right now with his new tattoo, sitting on his beanbag with his popcorn out, and he's got a whole new cheer squad called the Liberal Party. That's what's going on. This is the trouble with you people. You had nine years, and, by the way, this is the trouble. You go too far. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator LAMBIE: You go too far. I have my right to have my say. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Lambie, please resume your seat. Senator Wong. Senator Wong: I ask that Senator Lambie be heard respectfully. The PRESIDENT: I have called the chamber to order. I have reminded senators of standing order 203. Senator Cash, you are a very important part of this debate. I don't want to name you in relation to 203, so you need to listen respectfully. Senator Lambie. Senator LAMBIE: The trouble is you tend to go too far, instead of hitting the target that needs to be targeted and only going after those people who need going after. It's like your ensuring integrity bill. You didn't just go after the CFMEU; you went after every union, and that is not fair. You do not put everybody else in with some bad apples. That is not how this country works, and that's what you have done. But you also had nine years, and, under your nine years, they continued to get worse. Your fines did not help. Your ABCC was rubbish. It did not work. You had your opportunity, because you have to go after the big picture, instead of just those people that are involved. You cannot help yourselves, and it's all about making a political statement. While you make your political statements over the weekend and don't support this, you put lives at risk. You have done that, and you are doing that. You are disgraceful. Let me tell you something: these people have come to an agreement with those 20 points that you wanted. But having this administrator in estimates—how stupid are you? You want to bring in an administrator, who's going to do an investigation over the next three years, and get them to come in to estimates so you can ask them questions. That will probably put people's lives at risk. Really, you must get that. That's how policing works; that is how investigations work. You cannot bring an administrator in, who is hearing all this stuff, and ask them questions. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator LAMBIE: Oh, please, stop the rubbish! You had nine years, and you let your own people down. That is enough. Do the right thing this afternoon. Stop playing politics with this, and let's get this job done. These people over here—my goodness!—are the party of division. How about them? They haven't said anything about the way these women were treated. They know very, very well that most of those union members out there are women, and they are standing up for the behaviour of John Setka and the CFMEU. That is where the Greens have got to. I still haven't heard them justifying their reason why they won't vote for this. I haven't heard you get up and give us one good reason why you won't vote for this. You are absolutely as shonky as they come. Senator McKim interjecting— Senator LAMBIE: That is not good enough. You haven't come up with one good reason. I don't know what they are getting over here. The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Lambie, please resume your seat. Senator McAllister, on a point of order? Senator McAllister: Senator Lambie is really being subjected to some very heavy interjections that are disorderly from the other end of the chamber, and I ask that you call those senators to order. The PRESIDENT: I'm sure no senator in this place would be immune to the many times I've called for order, mostly halfway through question time and for all of this debate. I expect all senators to listen respectfully. Senator Lambie, please direct your comments through me, thank you. Senator LAMBIE: So the party of hypocrites over here, the Greens— The PRESIDENT: Senator Lambie, you do need to withdraw that. Senator LAMBIE: I withdraw. Okay, the Greens have an opportunity to make a difference. Why they are doing this is going to come out in the end. I don't feel sorry for you, but I need your voters to know you are doing a shonky thing in here today. You should be onto these people. The CFMEU needs to be taken down, and the investigations need to get started. Once again, the Greens— Senator McKim interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator McKim, if you can't listen in silence, leave the chamber. Senator LAMBIE: Oh, my goodness, it is really shameful when the only comeback the Greens have is that you support native forestry, over people's lives—people who are sitting there scared like hell of the CFMEU right now. We want people to have the courage to come forward. Instead, we're sitting in this chamber with both the Liberals and the Greens playing politics over people's lives. It is absolutely shameful today. You cannot be serious about this. I suggest you have a really good think about this. I would have thought—through the chair—it is enough. We are not going to get to the bottom of it. More things will come out in this, and the sooner they come out the sooner we can rein them in. That is where we want to be, and that is where we should be. You donors out there that give to the Liberal Party: Don't give to them this time around, because they are not doing the right thing by you. That's the problem. Stop giving to them, and make them pay the price.
