Dear Minister,
Prior to agreeing to take up an appointment as Administrator of the Construction and General Division of the CFMEU, and its Branches, I determined a set of principles and goals that would guide me should I decide to accept the appointment. I have subsequently met with a wide range of stakeholders. In each of those meetings I have taken time to go through those principles and goals. During those meetings I reached no deals or understandings about how powers invested in me will be exercised. Giving a binding commitment to a particular outcome would be improper, even if it were legal. I intend to conduct a lawful Administration. If appointed I will immediately communicate the principles and goals below with the members.
