This is new information, which has been reported in the Cole royal commission. In the light of the Cole royal commission revelation, will the minister now instigate an investigation of this serious matter concerning an ANTA grant of $1 million and the deliberate attempt to protect the union’s interests rather than public funds that should be used for training? Mr A.J. CARPENTER
