Future Perfect: The Ongoing CFMEU And Big Build Corruption Scandal

Dylan Bird is joined by Benita Kolovos, Victorian state correspondent for Guardian Australia, for an update on the continued fallout of corruption infiltrating the CFMEU and Victoria’s Big Build project, what the latest allegations could mean for Premier Jacinta Allan’s leadership and the upcoming state election, and the likelihood of a Royal Commission.

“Even if [the alleged $15 billion figure] was $100 million – the idea that organised crime groups and bikie figures are profiting off a Victorian government infrastructure project is a worry in and of itself.”
