The Supreme Court of Victoria has said it does not have the jurisdiction to rule whether the Australian Labor Party’s national executive can expel construction union boss John Setka or not.
In June, the ALP wrote to the CFMEU boss advising him of its plans to expel him amid concerns about his attitude towards women, in particular comments he reportedly made about anti-family violence campaigner Rosie Batty.
Mr Setka applied for an injunction to the Supreme Court to stop the expulsion vote, arguing the party’s national executive did not have the power to expel him because it was a matter for the Victorian branch.
Justice Peter Riordan today said the court could “not interfere with internal decisions of voluntary unincorporated associations” in matters like this.
