The ABCC alleges that Mr Hall hindered or obstructed various persons on the sites, contravening s.500 of the Fair Work Act (2009) (FW Act).

The ABCC alleges that Mr Hall further contravened s.500 of the FW Act by acting in an improper manner when he forcefully pushed the project manager and used abusive language.

Pursuant to s.363(1)(b) of the FW Act, the ABCC alleges that Mr Hall’s contraventions are also the actions of the CFMEU.
