Ministerial powers to place the embattled CFMEU into administration could be put in place within days. Finance Minister Katy Gallagher said she was confident the government will be able to reach a deal with the Coalition as early as Monday to place the construction union into external administration. It comes after attempts to pass the legislation failed in the Senate on Thursday, following tense talks between the government and the coalition.
“ Murray Watt has been working with to address concerns that they have, but I think the pathway through ... is with the coalition,” she said. “We’re hopeful again, with the work that’s been done over the weekend, that we’ll reach agreement for passage of that bill on Monday.” The government introduced the laws cracking down on the CFMEU after revelations emerged of alleged links to organised crime and corruption.
