Is CFMEU corruption any closer to being stamped out?
Manage episode 471695067 series 2444251
In July last year, an investigation from investigative journalist Nick McKenzie revealed that underworld figures and bikies had infiltrated one of the country’s most powerful unions, and major building projects in Victoria and NSW.
The investigation led to an immediate response, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese saying his government wanted to “make sure that we stamp out corruption” within the CFMEU, and Victorian premier Jacinta Allen declaring that the rotten culture within the union was one “that must be pulled out by its roots”.
Now, Nick McKenzie, through a new joint investigation by The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, and 60 Minutes, has revealed what’s come of those declarations. And why the rot and wrongdoing hasn’t stopped.
