Yes, I can. The Federal Court has described the CFMEU's record as 'dismal', stating:

The element of deterrence is particularly important in the present case because of the CFMEU's long record of non-compliance with industrial legislation…It is apparent that the penalties imposed in the past have not caused the CFMEU and its officials to comply with the … FW Act…

The Federal Court has also imposed fines of over $205,000 on the CFMEU and 10 officials for right of entry breaches on four Adelaide construction sites. The court said in relation to CFMEU organiser John Perkovic that his conduct was 'particularly egregious' and that he 'engaged in sustained intimidatory and abusive conduct' and attempted to 'belittle, humiliate and intimidate' a government employee.
