I would like to acknowledge the member's very able representation of a strong and vibrant Chinese community in his electorate. I have enjoyed many meetings with the members of that community. These Chinese Australians contribute so much to his electorate in community spirit and job creation.

I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the government, to condemn in the strongest possible terms the dishonest, vile and racist campaign being waged against the Chinese people by militant elements of the union movement—namely, the CFMEU and the ETU. Those opposite should be ashamed for supporting it. It is New South Wales's 'poles and wires' all over again. It is a total disgrace.
