‘It Will Follow the Money’: Carroll Unveils Big Build Royal Commission
Commissioner Chris Kourakis will decide who is called to give evidence, including former premiers Jacinta Allan and Daniel Andrews.
TL;DR
- Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has launched the Royal Commission into the Big Build.
- The Big Build is a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure program with over 180 projects.
- The program has faced criticism for alleged organised crime, rorts, cost blowouts, ghost shifts, and CFMEU corruption.
- Carroll replaced Jacinta Allan in July and promised the commission on his first day.
- This inquiry contrasts with Jacinta Allan's refusal to establish one while in office.
