CFMEU Corruption Probe Intensifies

Anti-corruption barrister Geoffrey Watson cross-examined in Brisbane over investigative methods for CFMEU report.
Lawyers for ousted union leaders questioned Watson's record-keeping and lack of recorded interviews.
Queensland Commission of Inquiry is examining corruption, criminal infiltration, and bullying in CFMEU based on Watson's 2025 report.
Watson admitted 56 interviews without notes, believing witnesses would 'clam up' if recorded.
Former minister Grace Grace denied threatening developers to secure deal with CFMEU for $1.6 billion Toowoomba Bypass project in 2018.
Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie called for Grace to resign as Labor's industrial relations spokesperson.
