Thank you, Mr Speaker. In question time today the Leader of the House partially quoted me from an interview on Sky News today. I actually said, 'I think everybody's got a right to participate in democracy. If someone in a union has been accused of doing the wrong thing, that's a different matter. But as for unions standing up for better pay and conditions for their workforce, that's an absolutely fundamental part of our democracy.'
