We will not be lectured by the Liberals or the Nationals, who spent a decade making oversized and undercooked infrastructure commitments across the country. Your decade of failure and broken promises is why the Albanese government has taken significant and necessary reforms to Commonwealth infrastructure investment.

When it comes to the CFMEU, as I said in my previous answer yesterday, we have taken decisive action. We've introduced legislation to clear the way for the CFMEU construction division to be placed under the control of an independent administrator with extensive powers to clean up the union. We've asked the Fair Work Ombudsman to undertake a targeted review of all enterprise agreements. Clearly that is not enough for you, Senator.
