Labor and the Greens voted against it. So there we go. This is the fourth time actually, Senator Scarr, that Labor and the Greens have blocked an inquiry into the CFMEU. Twice they told me that I was anti worker and that I didn't care about corruption in construction. So then I amended it to include corruption in construction. I actually changed it and called it 'corruption in construction'. And guess what? They still rejected it. So I don't know. What do we do? Labor and the Greens, they're always talking about transparency and accountability, except for when it comes to their own vested interests.

The Greens, in particular, always talk about how bad corruption is. They are, in my view, anti corruption. I expect that members of the Greens would feel very uncomfortable about the fact that today they voted against an inquiry into corruption in construction.
