Victoria’s launching a major royal commission into its “Big Build” infrastructure projects, led by former SA Chief Justice Christopher Kourakis, just 100 days before the state election — a move that signals serious intent amid mounting corruption allegations. The probe will scrutinize not just big contractors and unions, but subcontractors, labor hire firms, and even government oversight, with estimates suggesting taxpayers may have lost up to $15 billion. New Premier Ben Carroll has made this inquiry a top priority, and a special prosecutor will join the effort once appointed next month. With a deadline of August 20, 2027, this long-term investigation could reshape public trust in Victoria’s construction sector — and the political fallout could be huge.
