“The Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) is an important piece of the jigsaw in ensuring the construction industry is more productive and cooperative.”

“All participants in the industry – employers, employees and unions – have a responsibility to ensure their workplaces operate lawfully.”

“If the Royal Commission showed us anything it’s that we need a strong and well-resourced ABCC to keep unlawful and ultimately unproductive behaviour in check.”

“The Business Council urges all parties to work with the government to restore the ABCC so that the type of conduct uncovered by the Royal Commission cannot continue to occur.”
