The CFMEU has been under a cloud since investigative journalist Nick McKenzie started digging into allegations of corruption in 2024.
Bikie figures, organised crime, intimidation – all taking place on major government-funded projects.
Now, a report has laid out all the stories about the construction union in one place. And even McKenzie said he was stunned by the scale.
The report’s author, barrister Geoffery Watson, not only tore the CFMEU to shreds, he also claimed the Victorian government knew about the problems, and failed to act.
