What happened
A royal commission in Melbourne examining Victoria’s construction industry heard testimony from crane operator Glenn Tyrrell. Tyrrell described how a major train bridge project came under the control of the CFMEU in June 2022. He stated that a heavy presence of CFMEU officials on site would stop works by standing in front of machinery and telling operators to stop.
