My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. Revelations in the Age today expose that the Prime Minister's handpicked CFMEU administrator has requested the deletion of two chapters from the report of the independent probe highlighting the CFMEU-Labor cartel, which calculated that $15 billion of washed taxpayer subsidies have ended up in organised crime. In your previous answer, you said that the report was received by your office on 9 February. Did your office seek a copy before that date, and which version did you get—the full version, the redacted version or the version with two chapters missing?

I need to be very, very clear to the member for Goldstein that at no stage has my office in any way requested any changes to the report that was provided to the administrator. We received the report—

Order! The minister will pause. The minister's 30 seconds in. You can have your point of order now, but you'll only get one shot at it.

The member for Goldstein on a point of order.

A point of order on relevance: the question was specifically about whether a copy was requested, not—

Order! Resume your seat. The minister was in mid-sentence talking about the copy of the report when you took that point of order. I'm going to make sure she's being directly relevant, but we've had the point of order on relevance now, so we can't ask that again. I'll make sure she is directly relevant, and she may continue.

My office received the report. I need to be very clear to the member for Goldstein that at no point has my office requested any changes, any omissions or anything different in this report. We received the report, but I need to be clear to the member for Goldstein: this is a report to the administrator, not a report to government.
