Senator BRAGG (New South Wales) (14:39): There are allegations that Cbus and the CFMEU are using Cbus property to strongarm and delay projects across the country. For example, projects in Western Sydney have been delayed as members of the Cbus affiliate the ETU, or Electrical Trades Union, refuse to turn up on site to connect to or disconnect from the grid. Why does the government defend unions and union controlled super funds when they are crippling productivity in the construction sector?
