Christopher Pyne (Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the member for Casey for his question. He and the House would know by now that the government is seeking to support honest union leaders by initiating the registered organisations commission and by bringing back the Australian Building and Construction Commission, both of which are stalled in the Senate. The hurdle in the path of being able to support honest union leaders is, unfortunately, the Leader of the Opposition and the Australian Labor Party. That can be fixed, of course, but the question is: why? What motivates the Leader of the Opposition and the Australian Labor Party to take the position that they have taken in the Senate?
