CFMEU Corruption Investigation
The CFMEU administrator sent two teams of investigators away, despite their expertise in integrity and corruption cases.
These teams were assembled to uncover graft in the union but were swiftly disbanded, leaving serious misconduct allegations untouched for months.
The Albanese government’s CFMEU reform chief abruptly abandoned two anti-corruption teams hired to uncover graft in the union.
- Former AFP officer Chris Craner was recruited to help investigate wrongdoing at the CFMEU.
- Three confidential sources confirmed that CFMEU administrator Mark Irving KC failed to enact advice to seek more powers from the federal government to deal with wrongdoing.
A source stated that Irving was concerned that seeking more powers could risk reviving calls for the coalition’s Australian Building and Construction Commission.
