A commission of inquiry hears allegations involving CFMEU officials and incidents on the $1 billion Coomera Connector project. According to testimony reported by multiple outlets, a safety manager describes an incident in which a union organiser urinated on a worksite bathroom floor, characterising it as done “to make a point”. The witness says the behaviour left staff working on the project “on edge”.
The ABC also reports that a major contractor provides details of a series of incidents in which CFMEU officials allegedly accessed worksites without authorisation. Across the accounts, the issue before the inquiry centers on workplace access and conduct on the project site, with evidence presented through the contractor’s and safety manager’s descriptions of what staff observed and how the incidents affected site operations. The reports do not indicate the commission has reached any findings in relation to the allegations, but they outline the nature of claims being considered as part of the inquiry into events on the Coomera Connector.
