A former building and construction watchdog has called on the Labor government to hand back millions in political donations from the CFMEU following damning allegations about criminal conduct within the union’s Victorian-Tasmanian branch.
A former Australian Building and Construction Commissioner has demanded the Albanese government hand back millions in political donations from the CFMEU following bombshell corruption allegations at the union.
Mr Lloyd demanded Labor return political donations it received from the embattled CFMEU. Picture: Sky News Australia “Year after year, this conduct is undertaken and... the union gives the funds and the Labor Party happily accepts them,” he said. Ms Cash told Sky News' Peta Credlin the Coalition had warned Labor of ramifications from the removal of the watchdog.
Ms Cash continued to demand Labor re-establish the commission as she was sick of hearing"cheap" words from the Prime Minister.“The Coalition stands ready on the first day back in August to pass the legislation to restore, in full - no excuses by the Prime Minister or Mr Burke - the Australian Building and Construction Commission.
Mr Setka was fired from Labor by Mr Albanese over accusations he said domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty’s activism led to men having fewer rights – which he denied and fought in court until being convicted of harassing his estranged wife.
