Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time CFMEU CFMEU The Hon. C. BONAROS Legislative Council CFMEU The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:07): My question is to the Attorney-General and industrial relations minister. Can the Attorney, in his capacity as Attorney and industrial relations minister, confirm the government's publicly declared position that there has been no evidence of bikie involvement in local construction projects, that the minister responsible has acknowledged the government has not been alerted to any wrongdoing of unethical practices here in SA by the CFMEU, and does the Attorney acknowledge that any investigation instigated by this government needs to be systemic and include all players in the building and construction industry, not just the CFMEU? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector CFMEU The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:08): As I said in answer to a previous question, I think a supplementary from the honourable member, the construction and general division of the CFMEU in South Australia had been run and administered out of Victoria. What many people saw on I think it was the 60 Minutes program and related reports in other papers were shocking scenes of some of the behaviour of people from that Victorian union, which effectively then controlled the South Australian union. So, as I have answered here, I support the federal government legislation, and I and this government support the Attorney-General's decision to place the general and construction division in Victoria and, consequently, in South Australia, where it is being administered out of Victoria and New South Wales, into administration.
