Let's have a look. What did Justice Mortimer of the Federal Court of Australia say in 2016? This is what was said:

… there is a conscious and deliberate strategy employed by the CFMEU and its officers to engage in disruptive, threatening and abusive behaviour towards employers without regard to the lawfulness of that action, and impervious to the prospect of prosecution and penalties.

This is how the alternative Prime Minister would like to run the country. That's a very stark warning sign for Australians, small businesses and anyone involved in enterprise in this country of the very real risk, the very real peril, should Bill Shorten, the Leader of the Opposition, get elected as the alternative Prime Minister.

The Treasury Laws Amendment (Accelerated Depreciation for Small Business Entities) Bill 2018 is just the latest measure in a suite of measures that aims to keep the Australian economy strong, that aims to keep Australians employed and that will continue to deliver strong economic growth.
