flag A Queensland inquiry into CFMEU misconduct resumes, uncovering a culture of silence and potential criminal ties amid allegations of widespread union influence.

flag A Queensland government inquiry into alleged misconduct by the CFMEU has resumed, focusing on findings from investigator Watson, who initially dismissed concerns as minor but later concluded the situation was far more serious after hearing emotional testimonies. flag Watson cited widespread resistance from former union leaders and major construction firms, describing a culture of silence or "omerta" that hindered the investigation. flag The inquiry, expanded to examine potential links to criminal networks, aims to address union influence and protect construction sites from criminal activity, though no specific evidence was provided by officials. flag The proceedings remain closed to the public.
