Andrews’ online communication style (think: “Because it’s the right thing to do”), big outlays on infrastructure, and action-man, centralised style of government were all picked up by peers

Ben Carroll, who is set to be Victoria’s new premier, is expected to announce a royal commission into the scandal surrounding the Big Build and the CFMEU as one of his first acts

Under Allan’s leadership, Labor has overseen malfeasance of extraordinary proportions — direct links between ministerial offices and the CFMEU, and from there to standover men, bikies, and an estimated $15 billion in excess costs to the taxpayer

The fresh calls for a royal commission come with revelations that the supposedly tougher and streamlined anti-bikie association laws Premier Jacinta Allan introduced last year are failing to work as police hoped

The gangland infiltration of Labor’s Big Build has now spread to the infrastructure scheme’s prison expansion program and a social housing project opened by Premier Jacinta Allan in her Bendigo seat

The leaked consortium’s report, referenced in Nine’s Building Bad investigation, warned the state government about cost blowouts by 22% above what would be required under existing industry norms in Victoria

Allan’s claim comes a fortnight after this masthead revealed a bikie-linked company secured contracts as the leading women-led supplier of female workers on Labor’s Big Build, and three months after a landmark report into CFMEU corruption found bribery and bikie gangs had infiltrated major government infrastructure projects

On Wednesday, police withdrew charges against the girl, who was aged 13 at the time of her alleged offending

Allan also ruled out scrapping the additional financial penalty her government slugs overseas property investors or stamp duty reform — measures that experts say are needed to revive Victoria’s moribund property market
