As I said, we have taken the strongest action by placing the CFMEU in administration, and some of the issues that are now coming to light are coming to light because it is in administration. And we are dealing with those issues.

From an infrastructure point of view, what we did was: obviously, we have supported the appointing of the independent administrators. We asked the Fair Work Ombudsman to undertake a targeted review of all enterprise agreements made by, particularly, the Victorian branch of the construction division of the CFMEU that apply to the Big Build projects. We requested that the AFP investigate allegations and work cooperatively with state police to investigate and prosecute any criminal breaches. We will use our procurement powers to ensure that enterprise agreements on government funded projects are genuine agreements and that workplaces are free from coercion and intimidation.

Really? Really?
