Australian government plans to place CFMEU union in external administration within days, following crackdown laws due to corruption allegations.

Australian Finance Minister Katy Gallagher is confident that the government will reach a deal with the coalition to place the CFMEU union into external administration within days. The government introduced the crackdown laws following allegations of links to organized crime and corruption. The legislation aims to strengthen accountability to parliament and may include amendments addressing concerns from the coalition. These reforms are part of a series of initiatives aimed at clearing parliament during the upcoming sitting week, which also includes a bipartisan deal on the National Disability Insurance Scheme and laws mandating businesses to pay superannuation on paid parental leave.
