Incolink

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Industrial Relations a question regarding Incolink.

Leave granted.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: In June last year, upon learning of the takeover of the South Australian construction entitlement scheme BIRST by the Victorian CFMEU-run scheme Incolink, the Premier stated, 'There are various acts and powers and functions that exist with the state that we are willing to deploy should that opportunity present itself and should the need arise.'

The CFMEU is currently in the control of a federal government-appointed administrator due to allegations of intimidation, corruption and links to outlaw motorcycle gangs. My question to the minister is: has the Premier delivered on his pledge to stop the incursion into South Australia by the CFMEU-run Incolink entitlement scheme?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:39): I think that there has been some investigation and advice into what the powers of South Australia might be in relation to our choices of these sorts of schemes for workers as parts of EBAs. I don't have that with me but I think it's very, very limited. In relation to Incolink, I am happy to check on this if it's wrong, but my understanding is there is no-one who was formerly with the CFMEU who is on that board anymore, but I am happy to double-check that.
