My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Cash. On 13 September, the minister told the Senate that she first became aware of the illegal behaviour of the former commissioner of the Australian Building and Construction Commission, Mr Hadgkiss, in October 2016. The Prime Minister has admitted he knew of the behaviour because it was on the public record. Given that the proceedings against Mr Hadgkiss were filed on 19 August 2016, why did it take two months for the minister to become aware of the behaviour that Mr Hadgkiss himself admitted as being illegal?
