“Alleges” doing a lot of heavy lifting, but it won’t matter because the average Melbourne punter will be outraged the government didn’t send the police in to bludgeon in the heads of any union rep across Melbourne.
IBAC?
It’ll probably cost the government even more mid-project if they decide to do something about the corruption of the union… That’s the rot, it actually costs them less if they just turn a blind eye…
I used to have a lot of respect for Watson, but he was involved in a shocker of an Age/60 Minutes story last year in which they created a really skewed retelling of events that edited people they were allied to who were implicated out of the story. There was stuff that he sat on that he absolutely knew about, but didn’t fit the exact narrative that he and Nick McKenzie wanted to run, and ever since I’ve been suss on his conclusions.
Is this the Victorian government procurement board? There are agencies and oversight bodies that you inform of them of either collusion or corruption, and they don’t do fucking anything. It’s crazy the level of rorting in this country
I mean it would be extremely foolish and naive to believe that (between the bikie enforcers and the union “delegates”) the government didn’t know there was a labour/materials/contract value cartel on the big build sites.
I mean, public servants who work in VPS roles are largely useless, but a grade 6-er could have figured this out. That wasn’t an accident.
I’ve been saying it for years, Australia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
Women were forced to perform sex acts for jobs in a program designed to provide jobs for women. Victoria parliament should be burning to the ground
