Gangsters, corruption and cover-ups: What Victoria’s building royal commission could expose
Victoria’s new premier Ben Carroll has announced a royal commission into the state’s building industry.
It follows years of reporting exposing alleged corruption, organised crime links and misconduct within the sector, and years of resistance from the government and former premier Jacinta Allan.
The commission now has the potential to examine what happened and who knew about it, forcing powerful figures in politics, unions and the underworld to answer questions under oath and in public.
Today, The Age investigative reporter Nick McKenzie discusses what the royal commission must uncover and the big names who could be called to testify.
