The Australian Government will press ahead with legislation to reinstate the Australian Building & Construction Commission (ABCC). The bill was narrowly defeated in the Senate in August 2015, while a bill to impose criminal sanctions on officials of registered organisations such as unions was also rejected by the Senate. Employment Minister Michaelia Cash says the proposed merger between the Construction, Forestry, Mining & Energy Union and the Maritime Union of Australia highlights the need to reinstate the ABCC.
