My question is to the Minister for Skills and Training. Can the minister inform the House as to whether he has met with any CFMEU officials regarding the abolition of the construction watchdog?

I thank the honourable member for his question. Before I answer that question, I also congratulate you, Mr Speaker, on your elevation to office—a well-deserved result in the election yesterday. I indicate to the House that I've not spoken to any official of the CFMEU in relation to this matter that has been asked of me by the honourable member.
