Queensland’s deputy premier Jarrod Bleijie insists his government had no prior knowledge of alleged bikie ties to construction firm BMD—now contracted for $95 million in Olympic stadium work—and vows no review will be made, despite damning inquiry testimony linking the firm’s managers and a security contractor to threats against a union member. Bleijie defends the contract as fair, citing BMD’s local roots, while dismissing criticism from CFMEU’s Michael Crosby—who noted key figures from the alleged incident still hold roles at BMD—as unwarranted. He accuses unions of provoking industry desperation and frames the inquiry as exposing systemic rot, blaming past officials for broader failings—all while pledging to ensure safer, more productive infrastructure sites moving forward.
