Australian Constructors Association < 1 mins read

The Australian Constructors Association (ACA) welcomes the resolution of the majority of the 20 proposed amendments to the CFMEU Bill and calls for agreement on any remaining issues without further delay so that the Bill can be passed.

ACA CEO Jon Davies said now is the time to act.
