Allegations against CFMEU members referred to federal police

The Albanese government will refer allegations of domestic violence involving CFMEU members to federal police. This follows a recent incident where a bikie-linked man was filmed assaulting a woman at a construction site. Despite these allegations, the government has not committed to returning donations from the CFMEU or auditing infrastructure projects for corruption. Ministers have stated that these issues are separate from the government's focus on taxpayer money. Labor has faced criticism for accepting CFMEU donations while addressing violence against women. The Infrastructure Minister has not agreed to a federal audit of Victoria's Big Build projects, despite concerns about potential corruption.
