Well, Senator Cameron, we are not. And the passage this morning of the Australian building and construction legislation shows that we are committed to ensuring that we grow our economy. We support our third-largest industry in Australia that employs over 1 million Australians and in which over 300,000 small businesses rely on this industry for their own success. The fact that we have stood up for those businesses and for those industries whilst those opposite did exactly what Michael O'Connor and his CFMEU mates told them to shows that we are committed to standing up for Australians and to ensuring that we have an economy that grows. On this side of the chamber we understand economies that grow create jobs, and that is what we are all about.
