High Court Decision

The Hon Amanda Rishworth MP
Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations

The Albanese Labor Government welcomes the decision made by the High Court today, upholding our legislation and scheme of administration, which appointed an Administrator to the CFMEU Construction and General Division.

This Government will not tolerate criminal behaviour, corruption or violence in the construction industry.

We need to focus on shifting the culture in the construction industry and ensure the bad actors we have seen infiltrating this sector are kept out.

Construction workers deserve a union free from criminality, corruption and violence.

The Administrator and his team can now move forward with confidence and continue their essential work in cleaning up the Construction and General Division of the CFMEU.
