CFMEU administrator sent corruption-busters away, then had to sack top figure

CFMEU Corruption Investigation

The CFMEU administrator, Mark Irving KC, sent two teams of investigators away, despite their expertise in uncovering corruption.

These teams were assembled to investigate graft in the union but were swiftly disbanded, leaving serious misconduct allegations unaddressed for months.

Former AFP officer Chris Craner was recruited to help investigate wrongdoing at the CFMEU.

Confidential sources confirmed that Irving failed to enact advice to seek more powers from the federal government to deal with wrongdoing, citing concerns that it could risk reviving calls for the Australian Building and Construction Commission.
