Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:49): I think that everybody knows what Senator Ronaldson is trying to do. Interestingly, after telling me that the powers of the organisation were irrelevant to this issue and that only the resourcing was, now he wants to turn to the issue of penalties. I think he is making the point by this second supplementary question that the legal framework is important. I refer to my answer in the first— Honourable senators interjecting— Senator Ronaldson: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The minister should withdraw that comment. She knows full well that I only asked questions in relation to resources and made no reflection on anything else whatsoever. The PRESIDENT: That is debating the point. I do draw the minister's attention to the question. She has 36 seconds remaining to answer the question. Senator WONG: I am not sure which bit of the answer he wants me to withdraw. Senator Ronaldson interjecting— Senator WONG: Well, tell me which bit you want me to withdraw and I will withdraw! Which was the offensive bit? I pointed out that you were inconsistent between your primary question and your supplementary. My goodness! Isn't that dreadful! I again remind those opposite that it was this government which made amendments to the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act to improve the accountability of trade unions, requiring officers to disclose personal interests and requiring the disclosure of payments being made to related parties, and these amendments were appropriate.
