Do you think the head of our 'Big Build' and current Premier has blood on her hands in all this? Too right she does. I'd bet the shredder in Spring St is going 24/7. Labor is always just an extension of Unions, militant and criminal ones at that! -------
"At the top of the infrastructure portfolio, Allan was very aware of the CFMEU coercion allegations".
"The Australian Financial Review revealed emails from last year that indicated Victoria’s Major Transport Infrastructure Authority industrial relations director, Darren Driscoll, had briefed Allan on reports the CFMEU kicked one Indigenous firm off nine government projects, including the state’s signature $200 billion Suburban Rail Project".
"Allan is understood to have personally met CFMEU officials over the matter but little was done, and the union maintained its hard-line stance".
"The Fair Work Ombudsman later initiated an investigation into the CFMEU coercion claims off the back of the Financial Review’s articles. It is understood the investigation, which is expected to be finalised by early next year, could extend to the actions of the government and the infrastructure authority itsel"f.
"For her part, Allan is understood to be close to CFMEU Victorian political liaison officer Elizabeth Doidge – the partner of the branch’s assistant secretary, Joe Myles, who has charge of civil construction and is a potential successor to Setka. On her election as premier, CFMEU construction division secretary Zach Smith praised Allan, saying she had “shown all the right signs she will be an excellent premier who continues the state government’s work in building vital infrastructure”.
