No, the currently proposed ABCC would have excessive powers

No, we should establish a national broad-based anti-corruption watchdog instead

The Australian Greens have long advocated for a national broad-based anti-corruption watchdog. In 2018, they introduced the National Integrity Commission Bill, which aimed to establish such a body. While this stance does not directly address the ABCC, it indicates that the Greens would prefer a more comprehensive approach to addressing corruption across all sectors, rather than focusing solely on the construction industry.
