A Victorian royal commission investigating corruption allegations within major public infrastructure projects has been told that a prominent construction firm worried about angering the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union due to its strong connections to the administration of former premier Daniel Andrews.
This testimony marks the opening of a fresh series of hearings by the inquiry, which is scrutinizing the integrity of large-scale civil works in Victoria. The current evidentiary sessions specifically examine union involvement in the 2022 Gap Road level crossing removal initiative located in Sunbury.
Additional information regarding these allegations is anticipated to emerge as the inquiry progresses.
