A building firm tied to a CFMEU scandal was stripped of its licence recently. Regulators stated the company was "not fit and proper" to hold a construction licence. The decision comes after a number of investigations into procurement practices linked to the union.
At the same time, several unions mounted a public attack on the anti-graft official who disclosed a $15 billion infrastructure rorts bill. The unions argue the investigator is targeting union members without cause. Officials responded that the probe is part of a broader examination of the Big Build program.
