A company championed by the union has become one of NSW’s biggest labour-hire firms supplying large publicly funded projects.
Union officials have vowed to fight “to the ends of the earth” against federal government moves to appoint an administrator to oversee the scandal-plagued CFMEU.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had “panicked and soiled himself over some unproven allegations”,according to Queensland CFMEU boss Michael Ravbar.

The fallout from our investigation into the powerful construction union began on Friday,when long-time union boss John Setka resigned,before the first story had even been published.

The NSW government will attempt to oust CFMEU state secretary Darren Greenfield through the courts or take the matter to parliament.
Underworld figures and bikies infiltrated the CFMEU and major building projects in Victoria and NSW,triggering the resignation of the union’s boss and significant political fallout. Nick McKenzie explains how we got here.
Beleaguered CFMEU national secretary Zach Smith says he wants to clean up his own house. But he’s deluded.
Premier Jacinta Allan has also confirmed that the Victorian Labor Party had begun formal processes to eject the CFMEU’s construction division from its ranks.
The advice to the government is that deregistering the CFMEU would not work because the union could continue to act against employers.
