Comisión Real investiga influencia del CFMEU en proyecto Gap Road y la Labor

El 9 de noviembre la Comisión Real de Integridad de Grandes Proyectos de Infraestructura de Victoria escuchó pruebas de que el sindicato Construction, Forestry and Manufacturing Employees Union (CFMEU) tenía un papel decisivo en el contrato del cruce ferroviario Gap Road y mantenía estrechos vínculos con el gobierno estatal del Partido Laborista. También se presentó testimonio de que el control del CFMEU sobre la gestión del tráfico en el proyecto ferroviario de Sunbury pudo haber incrementado el coste del programa Big Build en más de 400 millones de dólares.

La comisión inició sus audiencias públicas el 2 de noviembre con un bloque de dos semanas centrado en el proyecto Gap Road en Sunbury, en medio de acusaciones de colusión entre el gobierno estatal y el CFMEU dentro del programa Big Build. En sesiones anteriores se examinó la influencia de empresas de contratación laboral y de la exministra de Transportes Jacinta Allan, mientras la líder de la oposición Jess Wilson prometió mantener y ampliar el organismo independiente Infrastructure Victoria de cara a las próximas elecciones.

The claim that Opposition Leader Jess Wilson said she will retain the independent advisory body Infrastructure Victoria and expand its role on November 8, 2026, has insufficient evidence.
