The troubled union will be the subject of broadening investigations into corruption and wrongdoing as the administrator asks top anti-corruption lawyer to work on.
The CFMEU administrator is pushing reluctant state and federal policing agencies to back his broadening investigations into violence, graft and organised crime influence in the construction sector as he moves to clean out the bikies and corruption that have infiltrated union ranks.
Irving said he intended to pursue allegations that bribery or other improper behaviour in the CFMEU had fuelled the rise of labour-hire firms, including some linked to underworld figures and which have also been linked to the mistreatment or underpayment of union members. Irving said his investigations will probe “any illegal payments made by labour-hire agencies directly or indirectly to certain” union identities.
Irving has also revealed that his Queensland probe will examine allegations of violence and coercion on building sites, claims of kickbacks offered to CFMEU officials, and the “involvement of OMCG and those connected with organised crime in industrial relations”.
