I thank Senator Hume for the question and for the opportunity to again state that the government does not tolerate corruption, criminality or violence in any part of the construction industry and make the point that the government has taken concrete action to clean up the industry, where the coalition and its ABCC completely failed. I would note that we have taken strong action not only in this sector but more generally in relation to the CFMEU. We have made clear that we will not tolerate, under any circumstances, as I said, corruption, criminality and violence in any part of the construction industry. I think you asked some specific questions about contracts, and, if I can obtain further information on that, I will provide it to the Senate.
