WorkSafe Silent on Big Build Abuse

WorkSafe Silent on Big Build Abuse

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

WorkSafe is silent on violence at Victoria’s Big Build sites despite mounting abuse reports, refusing to investigate “Women in Construction” — a company teetering on losing its license — while federal authorities flag 28 criminal cases tied to the North East Link. Though police are busy prosecuting offenders via Taskforce Hawk, WorkSafe’s focus remains on employer safety systems, not individual crimes. Meanwhile, the Labour Hire Authority cancels over 100 licenses, yet opposition accuses the government of shielding allies. Victoria leads Australia in infrastructure corruption allegations, with Premier Jacinta Allan citing stronger enforcement — but the shadowy dealings of “Women in Construction” reveal a troubling pattern of exploitation disguised as support for women in construction.
