My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. I refer the minister to the approach by Mr Andrew Grech to former clients of his law firm 'asking that they agree to waive their right to legal privilege attaching to lawyer-client communication so that we can respond to the public allegations that have been made' about the Australian Workers Union. In his capacity as minister with responsibility for registered organisations, including the Australian Workers Union, what steps has he taken to ensure the secretary of the AWU, Mr Paul Howes, complies with this request?
