My question is addressed to the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations, Senator Evans. I refer the minister to the flood of allegations about financial irregularities involving certain trade unions, including the HSU and the AWU. Does the minister approve, as a matter of principle, of union officials engaging in lucrative related party transactions with their trade union?
