Victorian Premier Ben Carroll is set to launch a royal commission this Thursday targeting the construction industry, following a cabinet meeting that finalized key details. The inquiry will probe two years of mounting allegations involving corruption and organized crime in government infrastructure projects — including criminal infiltration, violence on job sites, and suspicious dealings with powerful figures. Carroll, who vowed to make this his top priority since taking office, now moves forward after his predecessor resisted calls for such an investigation despite pressure from all sides. New reports suggest police are examining a former outlaw bikie gang leader accused of bribing union officials for business favors, highlighting the gravity of the issues ahead. The Premier will unveil more specifics at today’s press conference, signaling a major push to restore integrity to Victoria’s construction sector.
