Senator Doug Cameron has used part of his maiden speech to the Senate, to describe the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) as undemocratic.
"It is unacceptable that rank and file union members and their officials can be dragged before a star chamber, interrogated, humiliated and face six months jail for undertaking union activities which are universally recognised as basic human rights," he said.
CFMEU national construction secretary, Dave Noonan, said the laws building workers faced were unjust and had no place in a democratic country.
"These laws and the body that administers them are political in their nature, they're oppressive in their nature," he said.
