Episode Details

Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allan is under fire after being referred to IBAC over allegations her office intervened to steer a major infrastructure contract in 2022 — allegedly favoring a CFMEU-backed consortium. The case taps into broader concerns about corruption and organized crime infiltrating Victoria’s construction sector, with AFP already probing money laundering and extortion. Shadow Attorney-General James Newbury demands IBAC investigate whether political pressure inflated costs and enabled financial crimes — while Allan pushes back, rejecting a royal commission and calling for stronger anti-corruption tools, still stuck in review until 2027. Billions may have been lost, and the scrutiny isn’t fading.
