I said 'many opposite'. Dave has dedicated his life to the welfare of construction workers and has a legacy to be proud of. The disgraced Australian Building and Construction Commission has been dumped into the dustbin of history. Now with landmark IR reforms, which the CFMEU and other unions have campaigned for over many years—including same job, same pay and the criminalisation of wage theft—we're moving forward. This government is committed to taking action on silicosis and on industrial manslaughter. Now the future is brighter and safer for construction workers, and Dave has played a key part in that. Best wishes for your future, mate. You deserve it!
