Trade Minister Andrew Robb has taken a swipe at the construction union over its campaign against the China free trade agreement in his Melbourne electorate.
The CFMEU ran so-called robo-calls to thousands of households in the Goldstein electorate on Tuesday night, he told the National Press Club in Canberra on Wednesday.
"They want us to retreat into fear, not embrace the opportunities to prosper," he said, in response to union concerns about the loss of Australian jobs because of the agreement.
