Nervous is not a word anyone would use to describe John Setka. In fact, if you dared to insinuate that he was, you’d likely be laughed off every construction site in the country. But when the former head of Australia ’s most powerful union arrived at our 7 NEWS Spotlight studio, it’s obvious that was exactly what he was. Setka’s world has vastly changed in recent weeks.
Setka sat at the top of the union tree for 12 years and when pushed on corruption, kickbacks and standover tactics, he’s uncomfortable. “Look, there’s probably some elements of it,” he says. But he stops short of admitting the union was infiltrated by organised crime. To use his words, all of that is just “absolute bullshit”. Then there’s the CCTV of Setka’s unmistakeable silhouette dropping a suitcase in the driveway of the CFMEU’s assistant national secretary Leo Skourdoumbis.
