Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's defence of Dyson Heydon AC, QC by repeatedly referring to comments by Julian Burnside QC. Is the Prime Minister aware that Mr Burnside has said of Mr Heydon, 'I think an honourable person caught in that position would step aside'? Will the Prime Minister do the honourable thing and withdraw the commission of Dyson Heydon?
