I thought you were talking about the bad language of another Kevin for a moment. He was apparently expelled for bad language. Dean should have been expelled, there is no doubt about that, and Dean should have been expelled for his tactics of intimidation on building sites. That is what Dean Mighell is responsible for and he is not the only one. The CFMEU have made this a habit on commercial building sites and, if the Australian Labor Party wanted to do something about stopping intimidation on building sites throughout the whole of Australia, they would take a stand against intimidation, they would make it clear and they would expel all of those union leaders that have engaged in it.
