## Resource

Political interference allegations heat up in Queensland as former officials testify that ministers Mick de Brenni and Grace Grace may have intervened in regulatory matters involving the CFMEU. Graeme Easterby claims political pressure stalled an investigation into union interference, while Kym Bancroft details how the CFMEU blocked a new complaints system and how Minister Grace reportedly defended a controversial director. Bancroft also alleges her dismissal was linked to union dissatisfaction. Opposition Leader Steven Miles calls the claims untested but supports the ministers. Public hearings continue next week as the inquiry digs deeper into potential breaches of regulatory independence. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
