CFMEU boss Michael Ravbar sent a fiery letter to Queensland Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski in May 2024, accusing cops of violating labor laws by blocking union members from the Cross River Rail site—and threatening legal action unless they backed down. Ravbar referenced a police-industrial relations agreement, demanding written confirmation that officers would follow IR advice on workplace access, warning it could determine whether the union proceeds with lawsuits. The tension escalated when CFMEU members blocked a truck at the Centenary Bridge project, prompting police intervention and drawing scrutiny during an official inquiry. Meanwhile, Victoria’s new premier Ben Carroll is racing to finalize his promised royal commission before the November election, saying he’s been working nonstop over the weekend to get it ready.
