The damning hearing, part of a broader inquiry into alleged union misconduct and influence over Queensland’s workplace safety regulators, also raised alarms about possible corruption within the Building and Construction Commission, including questions about compromised appointments. With key figures like former CFMEU president Royce Kupsh present but silent, the inquiry digs deeper into whether powerful unions are bending regulatory systems to serve their own agendas.
