The coalition strongly opposes the Building and Construction Industry Improvement Amendment (Transition to Fair Work) Bill 2009, because we believe that every Australian, whether they be an employer or an employee, deserves to be able to go to their workplace and operate in an environment where basic law and order is enforced. Every Australian has that right, and this bill abolishes the body that ensures that law and order is enforced in the building and construction industry.
