I would encourage Victorians to ask themselves a few questions: would I trust an Andrews' Labor government that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the CFMEU? Would I trust an Andrews' Labor government in which the planning minister is a proud, passionate and paid-up member of the CFMEU?

I am sure the Labor Party people do not want the Victorian electorate to know that. Would I trust an Andrews Labor government that turns a blind eye to coercion, corruption and criminality simply to appease the CFMEU? If Victorians want safer, fairer and more productive building sites they cannot trust the Labor Party, which is beholden to John Setka and his CFMEU goons. Victorians face a very real choice. They can choose an Andrews Labor government that will act in the vested interests of a corrupt construction union or a Napthine coalition government that will act in the interests of all Victorians.
