As I've stated, the concerns about Mr Collier are exceptionally well known. He has been jailed for assault, has threatened Commonwealth public servants, has engaged in violence against women and has now brought this behaviour to my home state of Western Australia. But those in the CFMEU continue to defend him, as do many on the other side. I've raised this before: Senator Cameron asked no fewer than 61 questions at Senate estimates in October 2014, defending Mr Collier, and then, of course, in 2015, Senator Cameron wrote a letter on his parliamentary letterhead advocating on behalf of Mr Collier. Just in case there's any doubt, I will table the letter.
