Steven Ciobo (Moncrieff, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

I do not wish to drag the debate down and get bogged on this one point, so I will move on. There are other areas of significant concern to me as well. But I want to refute the accusation made by the Australian Labor Party and question their logic when they come into this House and criticise the electoral reforms before the House when it is very clear that they are one of the key beneficiaries of multiple union donations. I simply question the logic that applies and suggest that it is nothing but an exercise in absolute and total hypocrisy.

I want to turn to another aspect that was particularly concerning to me. As part of the inquiry, I learned about the way in which liberals for forests conducted themselves. It appears the Labor member for Richmond was a direct beneficiary of what I would consider to be absolutely corrupt practices by the liberals for forests.
