The New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, has asked for the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union’s (CFMEU) affiliation with the state Labor party to be immediately suspended and donations and fees to be stopped after further allegations against its leadership.
The Labor leader also vowed to work with the federal government to appoint an independent administrator to the CFMEU in NSW because the union was “either unable or unwilling to reform its leadership in the face of devastating allegations”.
