Yes, there were. With regard to the CFMEU, the Federal Court finding found as follows:

The present conduct of one of its officials adds to this depressing litany of misbehaviour. It evidences an ongoing disregard for the rule of law … It is fair to describe the CFMEU record as dismal.

We know that, in Victoria, the CFMEU has fine form. In particular, who can forget what happened on the streets of Melbourne in 2012, the infamous Grocon dispute, when the CFMEU literally shut down parts of the Melbourne CBD? The behaviour of officials included death threats and violence towards the police. On top of that, the CFMEU, again, do not care about the members' money because they were ultimately ordered to pay a record $1 million fine. That is the contempt in which the CFMEU hold their members' money.
