RECOMMENDATION

Recommendation 1

6.45 The committee recommends that in view of the failure of the government and proponents of the re-establishment of the ABCC to:

  •   Establish an economic or productivity case for the ABCC;
  •   Address the very serious incursions on human rights in the bills;
  •   Establish the uniqueness of the building and construction industry sufficient to warrant draconian powers and penalties;
  •   Establish that the coercive powers proposed for the ABCC are subject to sufficient oversight and safeguards;
  •   Establish that the ABCC would improve occupational health and safety in the building and construction industry;

the Senate not support the re-establishment of the Australian Building and Construction Commission and accordingly, not pass the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Bill 2013 and related bill.
