MR BARR: to those questions and there are, as again Mr Doszpot alluded to in his question, processes underway. In my view, those processes should be allowed to reach their conclusion without political grandstanding.

MR COE: A supplementary, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Yes, Mr Coe.

MR COE: Minister, these allegations date back over several years and the AEU has been aware of them for some time. Have you discussed this with the chief executive officer and, if not, why not?

MR BARR: Yes.

MR SPEAKER: Mr Coe, a supplementary.

MR COE: How can potential employees be confident that bullying issues have been addressed and CIT has an appropriate workplace culture, especially given that you are not willing to give answers in this place?

MR BARR: As I indicated in response to Mr Doszpot’s question, there are processes underway dealing with each of those incidents, as is appropriate.
