The Victorian government has finally launched a $50 million royal commission to investigate alleged corruption, criminal conduct, and serious misconduct across its $100 billion “Big Build” infrastructure program. Led by former SA Chief Justice Christopher Kourakis, the inquiry will examine roles of the CFMEU, construction firms, subcontractors, and government oversight — a move welcomed by whistleblower Geoffrey Watson, who credits new Premier Ben Carroll with a more serious stance after years of resistance. With a deadline of August 2027, critics warn it may be a “cover-up commission,” but the probe could finally hold powerful players accountable for billions in alleged taxpayer losses.
