AIRC orders nine-week suspension of CFMEU organiser’s permit after abuse of entry rights

The AIRC has revoked a CFMEU organiser’s entry permit until the end of October – a long way short of the February 2009 date sought by the ABCC - in the first ruling under Work Choices’ s770 “abuse of system” provisions. And in a finding that will embarrass the ABCC, the Commission has criticised it for presenting its case in a way calculated to cast the organiser in the worst possible light.
