For all that time, we had a superannuation board which had three representatives nominated by the ACTU. So let us not be confused any longer about the contradictions which are so evident in the position being adopted by the opposition. I appreciate that the member opposite, the shadow minister, who is a genuinely nice sort of bloke, has to do jobs that he sometimes does not enjoy. I appreciate that he probably does not enjoy this at all. I hope that this is not a genuine reflection of his attitudes towards the trade union movement.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.

Message from the Governor-General recommending appropriation announced.
