Jacinta Allan has vowed the government-appointed investigator will be able to speak to ministers – including herself – about claims against the CFMEU.
Premier Jacinta Allan has pledged the public servant charged with leading Victoria’s investigation into the CFMEU scandal will have access to top lawmakers, as she defended her government against allegations of a whitewash inquiry into the union.
A final report, which will offer recommendations on how Victorian institutions can better deal with unlawful conduct in the construction sector, is due by November 28.“Mr Wilson will no doubt need to talk to a range of government departments and agencies, and sector representatives,” Allan said. “If that involves talking to ministers, then of course, he will be talking to ministers as well. Just to be clear, that includes me.
Opposition Leader John Pesutto said on Sunday that the government’s inquiry was a whitewash that would only cover off having done an investigation.“Premier Jacinta Allan’s terms of reference won’t even allow for a proper investigation into her failure to address allegations that were brought to her attention, or the attention of the ministers in her government,” Pesutto said.
