CFMEU administrator sent corruption-busters away, then had to sack top figure

CFMEU Corruption Investigation Disbanded

Two teams of investigators with integrity experience were assembled to uncover graft in the union, but were swiftly disbanded.

The Albanese government's CFMEU reform chief, Mark Irving KC, abandoned the anti-corruption teams, leaving serious misconduct allegations untouched for months.

One source said Irving was concerned doing so could risk reviving calls for the coalition's Australian Building and Construction Commission.

Former AFP officer Chris Craner was recruited to help investigate wrongdoing at the CFMEU.
