Senator O’Brien can pretend to be Inspector Clouseau but, as far as we are concerned, the best way to get to the bottom of this is to allow Royal Commissioner Cole to do his job. I remind those opposite that Royal Commissioner Cole did a fantastic job in getting to the bottom of the corruption in the building industry, and I have no doubt that he will do a thorough job on this as well. When we have his findings, I think it will be appropriate then to consider those findings and see what actions ought to be taken.
