Yesterday, the Victorian Government directed all construction sites in locked-down metropolitan and regional areas to shut down for two weeks from 21 September. It stated that the directive was in response to the wild protests seen outside the CFMEU’s headquarters in Melbourne, allied with the continued transmission of COVID-19 on worksites.
Up to 500 anti-vaccination protesters attacked the CFMEU’s office in response to vaccination mandates that are about to come into effect. The CFMEU has stated it supports the vaccination of construction workers, but does not believe that it should be mandatory.
