Thank you. It is discretionary, so they do not have to. In September 2021, only again after intervention of the Australian Building and Construction Commission Commissioner, CFMMEU Queensland state secretary Michael Ravbar abandoned his application to renew his right of entry. Under Mr Ravbar's watch, the Queensland division and its officials have contravened industrial law on 175 occasions in 28 separate proceedings. Again, can I confirm there is no obligation on the Fair Work Ombudsman to intervene?
