The Victorian branch of the construction union is “caught up in a cycle of lawlessness” and has been “infiltrated” by bikie and organised crime figures, according to an independent probe launched by the union before it was put into administration.
On Monday the union’s administrator, Mark Irving, released an interim report by barrister Geoffrey Watson stating that information he uncovered “supported the accuracy” of allegations of criminal and corrupt conduct first aired on 60 Minutes and in Nine newspapers.
