I thank Senator McKenzie for her question. We certainly have been on the record to say that the behaviour we have seen from the construction division of the CFMEU is unacceptable. We've seen Senator Watt introduce a bill this morning. We have zero tolerance for this behaviour and have taken the strongest action possible to eliminate it through appointing independent administrators. Across government we have supported the Fair Work Commission in appointing independent administrators to the construction division of the CFMEU. We have asked the Fair Work Ombudsman to undertake a targeted review of all enterprise agreements made by the Victorian branch of the construction division of the CFMEU.
