Master Builders Queensland has called for the re-establishment of the ABCC, saying it is necessary to end unlawful behaviour on building sites.

Master Builders Director Construction Policy, Corlia Roos, said the ABCC will be a positive for the Queensland economy.

"The re-establishment of the ABCC will strengthen the construction sector, which in turn will benefit all Queenslanders," she said.

"More than 50% of all working days lost in Australia are in the construction sector. This is an extraordinary amount which forces up the cost of building tax-payer funded schools, hospitals and public infrastructure by as much as 30%.

"It is hurting our state's economy and reducing our attractiveness for vital investment in infrastructure, tourism and other business opportunities," said Roos.

Roos pointed out that the ABCC's role will enforce the rule of law for both union bosses and employers, and is not an anti-union measure.

"In the past three years, a third of all disputes in Australia brought before the Fair Work Commission about illegal strikes come from the Queensland construction sector," said Roos.

"These illegal strikes were organised by the CFMEU and cost employers, and ultimately the Queensland taxpayer, millions of dollars."

There are more than 100 active court actions against the CFMEU for its unlawful behaviour and the CFMEU has been fined millions of dollars, according to Master Builders Queensland. Queensland's building and construction industry association said that workers, their families, and small businesses have been bullied for not aligning with the union.

"If the CFMEU or a builder does not break the law, they have nothing to fear from the ABCC," said Roos.
