My question to the honourable member for Batman is: does he agree with many commentators who have said that unrealistic wages and conditions on Australian ships have priced the Australian coastal shipping trade out of viability? In other words, we do not have the coastal shipping trade we should because of unrealistic conditions won by unions in that area.
