My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Industry and Innovation, Senator Lundy. Minister, is the government aware of serious community, industry and union concerns about the dangers associated with the apparent, widespread and increasing misuse of imported substandard building products, plant and equipment on Australian construction sites—including dodgy imported plywood, imported glass with similar associated risks for both workers and the public and dodgy imported structural steel and plant and equipment like cranes, slings, cables, wire rope, scaffolding, paints and adhesives?
