True to form, the Albanese Labor Government has continued its weak response to the CFMEU\u2019s infiltration by bikies, gangland and underworld crime figures with rookie workplace relations Minister Murray Watt thinking a deal with the Greens will fix the mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations Senator Michaelia Cash said it was clear from Mr Watt\u2019s press conference that he is collaborating with the Greens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt appears Murray Watt is collaborating with the Greens to write the legislation that is likely to preserve John Setka’s legacy and influence,\u2019\u2019 Senator Cash said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Greens have never been able to bring themselves to condemn John Setka or the CFMEU so why would the Government go to them on this legislation?\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Coalition has not been briefed by the Government on this legislation. Shadow Cabinet and the party room will consider this in the usual way when we have been given the detail.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMurray Watt is all talk. He\u2019s been a proud cheerleader for the CFMEU for many years and is now pretending he\u2019s getting tough on them,\u2019\u2019 Senator Cash said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Albanese Government needs to introduce legislation to deregister the CFMEU when Parliament returns next week,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey also need to admit their abolition of the ABCC has been a disaster and should immediately commit to reinstate the ABCC with increased powers to police the industry,\u2019\u2019 Senator Cash said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnything less would add to the already weak response this Government has had to the crisis engulfing the CFMEU,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Albanese Government is desperately trying to fix a problem they created when they abolished the ABCC,\u2019\u2019 Senator Cash said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMurray Watt was the one who proudly pushed this disastrous policy through the Senate and he also led the charge that blocked the previous Coalition Government’s Ensuring Integrity Bill, which would have directly combatted registered organisations and individuals operating outside the law,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
