The test for Mr Mighell’s expulsion was bad language—he had to be expelled for bad language and the money paid back. When it comes to the CFMEU it has now got to be unlawful conduct. You are only expelled but the money does not have to be paid back—because it is $6.3 million.

He has got to come clean with the people of Australia and not only expel these unionists but expel the abhorrent policies.
