A recently extended probe into the CFMEU is preparing to deliver an interim report, with the probe’s head flagging early focus areas. Multiple outlets report that the inquiry is currently working through evidence provided by former figures connected to the state’s construction-related watchdog, and that attention is turning to developments involving an updated state building code and how it is enforced.
According to the reporting, the probe has broadened its timeframe to allow for additional evidence gathering and assessment. The head of the investigation indicates that the interim report will cover findings and issues identified during this period, including how early calls—made around the updated building code—are being treated in relation to enforcement practices.
The outlets also note that the union is involved in the process, with the probe describing ongoing questioning as part of its handling of evidence. The story across outlets is consistent in describing both the extension of the probe and the stated intention to address the building code and enforcement setting in the interim reporting.
