The independent probe will look at ways to strength the response to allegations involving the CFMEU and remove individuals engaged in criminal practices.
The Victorian government has announced the scope of an independent review into the state's construction sector and the CFMEU .
Premier Jacinta Allan had previously confirmed Labor's national executive had moved to suspend the state's construction union over allegations of intimidating behaviour, and referred the matter to Victoria Police requesting a criminal investigation into the matter. He will also look at the Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority's ability to direct the removal of individuals engaging in criminal or unlawful practices.Labor knows getting a major project up without the CFMEU onside is near impossible — it now must walk a tightrope as it works to address the serious allegations thrust into the spotlight this week, writes state political reporter Richard Willingham.
Mr Wilson has been instructed to provide an interim report by August 29 and a final report by the end of November. Mr Burke confirmed on Wednesday he had requested the Fair Work Ombudsman undertake the review in relation to agreements on Victorian Big Build projects.
