Senator ARBIB (New South Wales—Assistant Treasurer, Minister for Small Business, Minister for Sport and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (15:02): I seek leave to have additional information incorporated in Hansard in response to a question asked by Senator Back yesterday, 28 February. Leave granted. The answer read as follows— The Government position on the ABCC has been clear for a long period of time. Prior to the 2007 and 2010 elections, Labor made a commitment to the Australian people that it would replace the ABCC with a new body, a body that is part of our Fair Work system and a body that is charged with ensuring lawful conduct in the building and construction sector—which is such an important sector for our national economy. This Bill honours those commitments. The Bill has been referred to the Senate Standing Committee on Education, Employment and Workplace Relations for inquiry and report. That occurred on 10 November 2011. The Committee has conducted their inquiry and the Committee are due to present their report to the Senate today 29 February 2012. It is the not the first time the Committee has inquired into the Bill and not the first time it has reported on the key aspects of the Bill. I note the Opposition have a motion on the notice paper that they want to refer the Bill to the Committee for a further inquiry and report. The Opposition, rather than accepting the will of the Australian people are now just trying to stop the Government from implementing its commitment to them. That's why the Government will not be supporting this motion from the Opposition. We want to get on with delivering what the Australian people have asked for and so will not agree to the Bill going back to the Committee for a third time.
