Mr PORTER (Pearce—Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Leader of the House) (14:38): I thank the member for his question. The Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment (Ensuring Integrity) Bill 2019, presently before the parliament, simply establishes that there need to be reasonable standards for people to hold public office in employer and employee organisations and that there must be reasonable standards to maintain registration. Why is that necessary? As I noted yesterday, it's not just about the actions of John Setka. Sure, he has broken a host of industrial laws: coercion, contempt, threatening officials, not to mention his well-publicised criminal convictions. But, as noted yesterday, John Setka is only responsible for 22 of the 2,160 separate incidents and $16.4 million in fines. The rest of it—99 per cent—is the responsibility of other members of the CFMMEU. Right now there are 68 representatives of that union before the courts facing 650 charges of breaking the law. But that figure doesn't go to the individual toll that that offending takes. This affects real working Australians. I want to share one example with the House today. It is just one of the 2,000-plus examples. This occurred at the Grand Central shopping centre in Toowoomba. There was a $55,000 fine—very close to the maximum levied by the court. It was with respect to Mr Peter D'Arcy, a member of the CFMMEU. The court described him as engaging in coercion and dishonesty. He falsely told workers at that site that they had to join the union before they could work at the Grand Central shopping centre site. The court documents record the actual conversation that occurred on 27 March on the site of the Grand Central shopping centre. D'Arcy lied to the workers and told them that they must join the union to work there. One of the workers spoke up and said, 'What if I don't join the union?' D'Arcy then said: 'You can't work here. You'll have to go and work somewhere else.' Another worker spoke up and said, 'Isn't that illegal?' D'Arcy said, 'If you want to work here then you have to be a part of the union.' Another worker, a landscaper, who was there for a couple of days to do a small part of the job—this landscaper was just trying to do his job—said, 'I'm only here for a couple of days, so I'm basically coming here to work for nothing.' And D'Arcy said, 'That's just the way it is.' That is the response of the union official to the landscaper working there. The court said that the CFMMEU showed indifference to the plight of the workers and said: … the worker would effectively be working to pay the union its dues rather than working for his own monetary gain. After paying the union fee, the worker would have had nothing to show for his having provided his labour. He would have worked there for a couple of days and, based on a lie, paid all his money to the union. Why would you support that sort of behaviour? Because the money ends up in the coffers of the Labor Party. (Time expired) Mr Rob Mitchell interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for McEwen will cease interjecting.
