210 MR DAVIS — To move — That this House notes — (1) paragraph 157 of the 12 November 2019 orders of the Federal Court of Australia, Justice Mortimer, in Registered Organisations Commission v Australian Workers Union, which states “Mr Melhem’s conduct fell far short of the standard required by a senior union official in his position, and who was directly involved in these events and transactions…Indeed, it fell far short of the standard required and reasonably expected of any union official involved in such events and transactions, let alone the most senior union official in the AWU Vic…Any reasonable AWU official, holding the position of Secretary of the AWU Vic, the Branch to which these payments flowed and in respect of which these membership arrangements were made, could not possibly have engaged in the kind of conduct Mr Melhem admits he engaged in, if that person had shown any degree of care and diligence for the rules and processes of the AWU, in a matter as central to the union as its membership”; (2) this conduct is fundamentally incompatible with the high standards required to adequately fulfil the role of Chair of the Legislative Council Standing Committee on Environment and Planning;

[Notice given on 14 November 2019 — Listed for 20 days].

212 MR FINN — To move — That this House notes — (1) paragraph 148 of the 12 November 2019 orders of the Federal Court of Australia, Justice Mortimer, in Registered Organisations Commission v Australian Workers Union, which states “In the present case, the evidence establishes there was conscious and deliberate conduct by Mr Melhem in seeking out and facilitating the recruitment of new members to the AWU outside the process set out in the AWU Rules, and the payments of significant sums of money for those recruitments, which amounts generally bore little if any correlation to the membership rates set by the AWU Rules…For reasons that remain unexplained, almost all of the payments were attributed to services which were not provided, or were provided in a limited way…All this conduct, in my opinion, was not inadvertent, or negligent, or careless; it was deliberate”; (2) this conduct is fundamentally incompatible with the high level of personal integrity and trustworthiness required of an Acting President of the Legislative Council; and calls on Mr Cesar Melhem MLC, to demonstrate contrition and regret for his offences by resigning forthwith from the position of Acting President of the Legislative Council. [Notice given on 14 November 2019 — Listed for 20 days].

213 MS BATH — To move — That this House notes — (1) paragraph 158 of the 12 November 2019 orders of the Federal Court of Australia, Justice Mortimer, in Registered Organisations Commission v Australian Workers Union, which states “…in my opinion Mr Melhem’s conduct was a clear and serious example of the most senior office holder within the AWU Vic, and a senior office holder within the national AWU structure, failing to discharge his powers and duties in the best interests of the AWU…It could not possibly have been in the best interests of the AWU for its own membership rules, including as to amounts payable for membership, to be bypassed, in a serious and sustained way…Mr Melhem has conceded that admitting people as members otherwise than in accordance with the AWU Rules was not in the best interests of the union”; (2) this conduct is fundamentally incompatible with the high standards required to adequately fulfil the role of Chair of the Legislative Council Standing Committee on Environment and Planning; and calls on Mr Cesar Melhem MLC, to demonstrate contrition and regret for his offences by resigning forthwith from the position of Chair of the Legislative Council Standing Committee on Environment and Planning.

[Notice given on 14 November 2019 — Listed for 20 days].

215 MR DAVIS — To move — That this House notes — (1) paragraph 118 of the 12 November 2019 orders of the Federal Court of Australia, Justice Mortimer, in Registered Organisations Commissioner v Australian Workers Union, which states “I find Mr Melhem could not have believed, and indeed he has admitted that he did not believe, that it was in the best interests of the AWU for the 156 jockeys to be added to the Register of Members in circumstances that did not comply with the AWU Rules, and for the three payments received from the AJA and VJA to be recorded as membership income, because doing so exposed the AWU to a breach of s 230 of the FWRO Act and to civil penalties...Accordingly, I find that Mr Melhem did not exercise his powers and discharge his duties in good faith in what he believed to be the best interests of the AWU”; (2) these findings of Mr Melhem’s lack of good faith are fundamentally incompatible with ongoing membership of the Legislative Council Standing Committee on Environment and Planning; and calls on Mr Cesar Melhem MLC, to demonstrate contrition and regret for his offences by resigning forthwith his membership on the Legislative Council Standing Committee on Environment and Planning. [Notice given on 14 November 2019 — Listed for 20 days].
