CFMEU

The federal government paid $3.8 million in personal protection for the administrators of the CFMEU. A Senate committee also heard that minister Murray Watt required personal security after introducing legislation to place the union into administration.

Luba Grigorovitch, a Victorian Labor MP, was promoted to Jacinta Allan’s cabinet despite criticism over her past friendship with disgraced union leader John Setka. The opposition condemned her appointment as 'appalling,' while Grigorovitch defended her ties to Setka.
