As I have stated, this government—the Turnbull government—unanimously condemns the disgraceful behaviour of Mr Setka. Again in response to Senator Wong's interjection: Mr Shorten can atone for his previous support of Mr Setka. He can follow Mr Albanese, go on TV and say that he distances himself from a man who has engaged in criminal behaviour for many years now, who makes public threats to public servants et cetera. But, until Mr Shorten formally cuts ties with the CFMEU and stops accepting the millions and millions and millions of dollars that go into the Labor Party courtesy of the likes of Mr Setka, quite frankly, anything less may well be seen as an endorsement of Mr Setka's actions.
