The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has called on a powerful union to end its campaign against the AFL, which involves threats to derail the league's projects unless its umpiring boss is removed. The union head, John Setka, has responded, stating that the threats to delay league projects will not cease. Employers have warned that Setkaβs war on the AFL will increase costs on government-funded league projects, potentially impacting taxpayers. The state government has also come under scrutiny for secretly referring businesses to the militant CFMEU for advice on projects worth more than $100 million.
