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

In regard to the Fair Work Australia (FWA) investigation into the Health Services Union and the Government's response: (1) What is the policy justification for allowing FWA to wholly outsource inquiries that it has been asked to conduct. (2) Does the Minister agree that FWA cannot cooperate with police. (3) With reference to a letter from a Detective Sergeant of the Victorian Fraud and Extortion Squad, which stated that FWA's advice was based on 'misconceived understanding', does the Minister believe FWA can cooperate with police; if not, why not.
