asked the Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, upon notice, on 25 June 2012:

(1) Is the Minister aware of the Howe Inquiry.

(2) Given that the report based many of its findings on the Race to the Bottom: Sham Contracting in Australia's Construction Industry report released by CFMEU Construction and General, which was subsequently discredited by the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) review into sham contracting, does the Minister agree with the ABCC's findings or with the Australian Council of Trade Unions report.
