A building firm tied to a CFMEU scandal was stripped of its licence recently. Regulators declared the company was "not suitable" to hold a licence to operate. The decision follows a series of investigations into procurement practices linked to the union.
At the same time, several unions mounted a public attack on the corruption investigator who revealed a $15 billion infrastructure rorts bill. The unions claim the investigator is targeting union members unfairly. Officials responded that the probe is part of a wider review of the Big Build program.
