No longer distracted by blackmail charges that were this week dropped, CFMEU chief John Setka has turned his attention to applying pressure to Bill Shorten

In a wide-ranging interview about the state of his powerful union, Mr Setka told Neil Mitchell the CFMEU wants federal Labor, if elected, to:

  • Re-write Fair Work laws
  • Change right of entry laws

Neil Mitchell: It’s reported today in The Australian you want Bill Shorten to make it easier for workers to take strike action. Is that right?

John Setka: Well, it’s partly right.

He also described the failed blackmail case against him as a “witch hunt” and defended the fact that CFMEU figures have criminal convictions.
