The Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment (Ensuring Integrity No. 2) Bill 2019 was to ensure the courts were able to take appropriate and effective action in response to the repeated serious contraventions of the law by a militant minority of registered organisations. The bill represents a considered response by the government to multiple royal commissions, decades of court judgements and countless instances of bullying, harassment and intimidation of workers, small businesses and public servants, to name just a few. The bill should not be delayed any further by a Labor Party desperate to continue the shameful protection racket they've run for militant lawbreakers for too long.
