Summary
A damning report by a former union administrator alleges Mick Gatto runs construction firms favored on government contracts, sparking chaos in Victoria. The state government fiercely denies the claims, with ministers calling the report baseless and questioning why the author didn’t report it to police. The former premier, under fire for mishandling the scandal, has stepped down — her successor vows a royal commission. The report’s author stands by his core claim of Gatto’s control, even as others hold shares. Meanwhile, the new construction union leader confirms corruption has spiked costs and pledged ethical reform — while also revealing he’s been threatened by a former union boss, deepening the turmoil.
