## Resource

Victoria’s Big Build projects are under fire for alleged corruption, bribery, and intimidation on taxpayer-funded sites, raising serious questions about oversight and accountability. While the Premier blames inflation for cost overruns, critics argue the real issue is systemic misconduct — including powerful unions wielding outsized influence and “grey corruption” that Victoria’s anti-corruption body, Ibac, can’t investigate. Calls for a royal commission grow louder, as reform to Ibac’s powers won’t arrive until 2027 — too late for many, especially given the government’s heavy reliance on these massive infrastructure projects.
