A Labor frontbencher is demanding the resignation of Employment Minister Michaelia Cash after it was revealed she knew the head of the building watchdog breached the Fair Work Act almost a year ago.
<div>Key points:
Â
Australian Building and Construction Commission boss Nigel Hadgkiss resigned today after admitting to breaching the act over right to entry rules.
In court it was revealed Mr Hadgkiss knew about material distributed by his organisation that suggested employers could make reasonable requests to stop union officials holding meetings in workplaces.
But under changes to the laws, the employer no longer had that right and unions could meet workers in meal rooms for talks if needed.
Unions reacted with fury to the admission.
And when pressed in Question Time, the Employment Minister revealed she had known about the matter for some time.
"I became aware of the behaviour in October 2016," Senator Cash said.
