In relation to the first part of Senator Watt's question, I'm going to read from the statement that I made to the Senate at the commencement of question time:

The AWU's legal action is in the course of hearing before the Federal Court of Australia this week. As I'm yet to give evidence in the case, I am subject to restrictions in relation to what I can be told about the evidence that has been given by other witnesses. Although Senator Wong—

and now Senator Watt—

have provided commentary on the case during question time, I have no way to verify if what—

they have—

said is correct.

In relation to the second part of Senator Watt's question, the answer is no.
