Calls for Labor MPs to Return CFMEU Donations

Labor Members of Parliament (MPs) have faced calls to return donation money received from the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU).

Commentator Tom Elliott stated his belief that the state government appears to be attempting to divert public attention. He questioned the absence of a royal commission into alleged corruption within the CFMEU, citing the millions of dollars donated to the state Labor Party by the union.
