Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Bill 2013 - Second Reading

Description

~~Christopher Pyne~~
I rise to conclude the debate on this cognate legislation. In summing up the debate I wish to thank every member who has contributed to it. I would like to particularly thank the member for Bradfield, who, before the election, chaired a coalition working group to re-establish the Australian Building and Construction Commission, and the other members of that group: the members for Ryan, Forrest and Kooyong. With that I recommend the bill to the House.
~~Bruce Scott~~
The majority voted to read the bill a second time. This means that the majority of MPs agree with the main idea in the bill, which was to re-establish the Australian Building and Construction Commission (‘ABCC’).

The ABCC was originally established by the Coalition Government in 2005 in response to the Royal Commission into the Building and Construction Industry, which found that there was “widespread disregard of the rule of law” within the industry.[1] In 2012, the ABCC was abolished.
