I am sorry, Mr President. Have a read of the story about REST industry super fund and what it has done with the case of a deceased young fellow who would not have had his claim paid. That is why I am moving to have life insurance in this and to have an inquiry into that very issue. I have crossed the floor before. Senator Dastyari is aware of that. You would not come with me in June last year—the 24th, I think it was—Senator Dastyari; probably you were lacking leadership from Beijing or something and that is why you would not join me in that appeal. For years I have stated where I stand on this: I want a royal commission. But let us have a proper royal commission not a cover up royal commission. That is the point I make and that is why I will not support this motion now.
