Victorian Premier calls royal commission on construction sector

The Victorian construction sector will be subject to a royal commission following years of allegations that organised crime and corruption has infiltrated the government’s major infrastructure projects.

Premier Ben Carroll announced the royal commission on Thursday following a special cabinet meeting.

The Victorian royal commission will be overseen by the former Chief Justice of South Australia, Chris Kourakis.

The commission will have the power to call former premiers Jacinta Allan and Daniel Andrews.
