Replying to @MurrayWattAs I have said before, it is clear these issues go well beyond the union - they involve criminal gangs & some labour hire firms/construction businesses. We’ve begun change, but we must continue tackling corruption, criminality & violence across the whole construction industry. - Katy Gallagher repostedReplying to @MurrayWattI have spoken with the administrator tonight and he intends to investigate and take action against any serving CFMEU organisers or delegates implicated in these reports. He will also consider further action to stamp out gender violence in the industry.
- Katy Gallagher repostedTonight’s @60Mins allegations of corruption & violence towards women are appalling. I will refer them to police for further investigation. Uncovering this unacceptable conduct is testament to the hard work of the CFMEU administrator & his team, appointed by the Albanese Govt.
- Replying to @SenKatyGViolence against women in any form must be called out and condemned and the perpetrators must be held to account for their behaviour. If you are impacted by domestic, family or sexual violence and need support, it is available 24/7 by calling 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732.
- The footage of a violent act against a woman that aired on 60 Minutes tonight is horrifying. The culture towards women on worksites also shown on the program is completely unacceptable.
- This is leadership. The @AlboMP Government is focused on Australians in SE Queensland and Northern NSW as they face a tough couple of days ahead. Our fourth responsible budget will be handed down by @JEChalmers on 25th March. #auspol #auspol25My Government is solely focused on assisting communities in Queensland and Northern NSW impacted by Cyclone Alfred. At the worst of times we see the best of the Australian character as we look after each other.
00:00 - Peter Dutton likes to pretend that you can just cut 20% of public service jobs and it won't make a difference. It's simply not true.
00:00 - Higher bills, fewer jobs, lower economic growth and a hit to the environment. That’s what Australians get under Peter Dutton’s risky nuclear power scheme.
00:00 - He can’t be serious… Peter Dutton’s Liberals are so out of touch.
- Replying to @SenKatyGThe choice couldn’t be clearer for voters next year, between an Albanese Labor Government that has delivered practical outcomes to improve the lives and careers of Australian women, or a Dutton Coalition with MPs who are more focused on talking women down.
- If you need any more evidence of why Peter Dutton’s Coalition hasn’t changed one bit when it comes to respecting women, look no further than these outdated comments from Colin Boyce.
- A new scorecard released today shows the gender pay gap has dropped from 21.7% to 21.1%. The main driver of the decrease in the gender pay gap is lift in wages for lower paid workers, especially in highly feminised sectors - like aged care.
