CFMEU administrator sent corruption-busters away, then had to sack top figure

CFMEU Corruption Investigation Abruptly Abandoned

The Albanese government’s CFMEU reform chief, Mark Irving KC, abandoned two anti-corruption teams hired to investigate corruption in the union.

One source said Irving was concerned that seeking more powers from the federal government could risk reviving calls for the coalition’s Australian Building and Construction Commission.

Former AFP officer Chris Craner was recruited to help investigate wrongdoing at the CFMEU, but the investigation was disbanded.
