My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister expelled CFMMEU boss John Setka from the Labor Party after Mr Setka was convicted for harassing his wife, saying, 'His values aren't the same as Labor's values.' Yet, following a period where the CFMMEU has continued with its notorious violence, thuggery and intimidation towards women, Labor has accepted a $4.3 million donation from the CFMMEU at this election. Prime Minister, what values does this Labor government share with the CFMMEU?
Sussan Ley Farrer, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Women
You should give that money back.
Milton Dick Speaker
The Deputy Leader of the Opposition. The Prime Minister will answer the question at the end.
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
I did take action to ensure that John Setka was expelled from the Labor Party. That's called leadership.
