Watson's Report Shakes Victorian Big Build | Perth News
Description
Geoffrey Watson SC’s explosive “Rotting from the Top” report has sent shockwaves through Victoria, alleging $15 billion in taxpayer theft tied to the “Big Build” project — with the CFMEU and Melbourne’s underworld allegedly colluding. Watson faced political backlash from the outgoing Jacinta Allan government, which dismissed his findings, even as he accused ministers of smearing his character. Now, with Ben Carroll as the new premier, a royal commission is imminent — while CFMEU boss Michael Crosby vows to clean up the union and shut down illegal cash flows in construction. The fallout is just beginning, exposing a tangled web of corruption, political maneuvering, and urgent calls for reform.
