Detailed evidence was sent more than 18 months ago that CFMEU officials were threatening violence and banning non-union preferred firms from taxpayer-funded projects.
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese were sent detailed evidence more than 18 months ago that CFMEU officials were threatening extreme violence and unlawfully black banning non-union preferred firms from state and federally funded projects.
The accused criminal’s syndicate has ties to CFMEU-backed labour hire firms winning work on Minns government-funded projects. Ms Allan also flagged a review of state government building contracts and a request to the federal government to assess all construction industry pay deals to ensure they were free of improper conduct.
Frustrated at the lack of response from Ms Allan, the firm wrote to Mr Albanese in October 2022 repeating their concerns. Asked about the email on Monday night, the prime minister’s office said it would check the records to see if the email was received. It is unclear whether Mr Albanese or his office received the letter, only that it was sent.
Ms Allan’s reply apologised for the delay but wrote that she was unable to help. She advised the firm to seek assistance from the federal government or the large state contractors who had earlier warned the directors not to complain. Asked about the lengthy delay to respond to the CFMEU bullying on Monday, Ms Allan said she always took “immediate” steps to investigate claims.
