CFMEU Faces Suspension Amid Corruption Allegations

NSW Premier Chris Minns has moved to suspend the CFMEU from the Labor Party due to corruption allegations against the union, particularly within its construction and general divisions. This action follows revelations of misconduct, including a video showing the union's NSW construction boss accepting a bribe. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is also under scrutiny for her handling of similar allegations against the state's CFMEU, which has been placed into administration. The CFMEU's national office has assumed control of the Victorian branch, with plans for an independent investigation into the allegations. The union faces mounting pressure from multiple state leaders and federal officials, with some calling for its deregistration due to persistent criminal and corrupt behavior.
