Indeed, no-one should have to put up with that language in their workplace—no-one. The Queensland Public Sector Union now has a list of 17 sites that they will not let their members, their safety inspectors, visit—and I'm quoting from that union—because:

Members will not attend work at locations which are deemed unsafe by the State Secretary due to the likely presence of individuals or organisations whose behaviour is deemed a risk to members' workplace health and safety.

The public sector union representing safety inspectors in Queensland will not allow its members to go to workplaces because of abuse by the CFMMEU, because it is unsafe. This is a quote from the website of the public sector union:

Inspectors will not attend sites to resolve right of entry issues under s81[3] of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 where there is a risk of occupational violence.

Yet the Labor Party's national executive includes the CFMMEU Queensland secretary as its member. (Time expired)
