My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Minister Wong. Geoffrey Watson SC's interim report investigating unlawful behaviour into the CFMEU, released this morning, has confirmed the recent revelations of corruption, criminality, violence and intimidation on CFMEU worksites. Australian taxpayers and homebuyers are paying more for infrastructure and apartments as a result of the CFMEU's behaviour. The investigation found CFMEU officials had switched employment from the union to paid employment with employers and 'remained on the same sites with more or less the same authority'. If the CFMEU management has lost control of the union, why does the CFMEU boss, who opposed the administration, still have his job at the union?
