Senator Murray Watt Speaks Out For Subbies

Fighting for Subbies Rights

After meetings with The Subcontractors Alliance's Les Williams and a number of subcontractors who have been defrauded of large amounts of money, Labor Senator Murray Watt has taken up the cause in The Australian Parliament and sent a letter in regard to fraud to The Australian Federal Police Commissioner on behalf of subbies.

He is one of the few Federal politicians who has actually listened.

There have been numerous letters from Subcontractors Alliance to our tin eared Prime Minister but of course he is too busy to worry about thousands of subbies being swindled out of 350 million dollars over a few short years.

The Prime Minister has more important things to worry about like;

  • The Paris Accord (giving billions of dollars of taxpayers money to the climate change fraud)
  • How he can get our power bills up to new record highs
  • Turning Australia into a republic
  • Destroying our manufacturing sector
  • Acting like a paragon of virtue by passing judgement on young cricketers who made an error of judgement
  • How he can look stately on the world stage instead of looking like the treacherous back stabber he is.

More to be done to protect subbies

Yesterday in the Senate I spoke up about the scourge of phoenixing on the Gold Coast.

It’s good the Government has passed legislation to protect its own tax revenue from phoenix activity, but more needs to be done to protect sub-contractors and homebuyers, who lose thousands every time a construction company collapses.

Letter from Senator Murray Watt to the Federal Police Commissioner.

Subbies between Subcontractors Alliance and SubbiesUnited, we are making more progress than ever before. I have no doubt that one of these criminal directors and their advisors will face fraud charges before too much longer.

ABOUT US

SubbiesUnited is not “anti builder”, we support strong builders.
We are “anti theft” of hard working subbies money.

It’s not just about the builders who go broke, businesses all over Australia Liquidate every day for a variety of reasons.

It’s about the ones that engage in calculated criminal behaviour such as providing false information to the regulators or inducing subbies to work on a site when they know they cannot or are not going to pay them because of a fraudulent scheme. Its about the participation of the banks, pre insolvency advisors and builder appointed Liquidators to fraudulently defeat creditors.

Liquidators should always be appointed by creditors to ensure a thorough investigation takes place.

We want the rogues investigated and prosecuted for fraud. 


  • SubbiesUnited was created to provide subbies with collaborative information on building companies that are showing signs of insolvency or struggling to pay their creditors. The signs are always there, we just need to get the message to each other before it happens.
  • We provide subbies with up to date news on builders in Administration or Liquidation and the best strategies to get a return.
  • There are some extremely litigious builders out there who would rather sue you than pay you. Often they sue you so they don’t have to pay you. We will expose them.
  • The construction industry is renowned for building companies setting up illegal Phoenix operations, shifting assets, then liquidating sending subbies broke. We work with other subcontractor & supplier organisations & Governments to stop what amounts to legalised theft on a massive scale though pre packaged liquidations. Insolvency is used as a means to defraud Subbies.
  • Our aim is to limit the financial damage before it happens with our “members only forum”, an early warning system for the benefit of all our members.
