Andrew Wallace (Fisher, Liberal National Party) | Hansard source

I'll take the interjection from the member from Moreton, who obviously doesn't care about spending taxpayers' money carefully, because taxpayers are being cruelled by this federal government. There's another $280 billion in this budget of additional taxes, and those additional taxes will go to building things in this country but only by CFMEU approved contractors. That is the reality of it. The reality is that everyday Australians will be paying much more not just on their public works but on their private works as well.

This government does not give a damn about the costs of construction, as long as it looks after its mates in the unions. That's what this is all about. This is all about running a protection racket for the CFMEU just so that the government can keep getting their very generous political donations from the CFMEU. It's just a perpetual cycle of dependency between the CFMEU and this government. This government stands condemned as a result. (Time expired)
