CFMEU on Fair Work Act

The CFMEU, backed by the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union, is under scrutiny due to allegations of misconduct, leading to calls for its removal from Prime Minister Albanese's $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund. Labor figures are distancing themselves from the CFMEU amid reports of criminal activities, including bikies infiltrating the union. Despite ongoing investigations and government actions to address the issue, concerns persist about the union's impact on the construction sector and the economy, with fears of cost blowouts and labor supply issues affecting large projects and deterring innovative companies from bidding. The CFMEU's administration in Victoria and calls for deregistration highlight the deep-rooted challenges posed by its alleged corruption and influence on industry practices.
