The Albanese government next week will introduce legislation to force the appointment of an administrator into the recalcitrant CFMEU, after the union tried a delaying tactic to drag out court action.
Workplace Relations Minister Murray Watt announced on Friday the legislation – which the government threatened if the union resisted the application by the Fair Work Commission’s General Manager to install an administrator – would go ahead.
Watt had given the union until 5pm on Thursday to consent to the application, which is before the federal court.
