Victoria’s Premier Ben Carroll has announced a royal commission to investigate corruption and violence in the state’s sprawling construction sector, with estimates suggesting taxpayers lost up to $15 billion due to criminal activity. The probe, targeting everything from top contractors to unions, marks a bold shift from his predecessor Jacinta Allan’s refusal to pursue such an inquiry. While integrity experts applaud the move as essential for restoring public trust, legal voices warn of systemic flaws that must be exposed. Opposition figures, however, call it a “sham,” demanding former ministers testify and fearing political shielding. The commission’s success hinges on its scope — and the public is watching closely to see if this high-stakes probe delivers real accountability.
