Stalking claims, vehicle trackers and dog poison dominate another week of CFMEU inquiry
The inquiry in Queensland heard claims of alleged menacing behaviour that occurred at job sites, but also carried on into people's personal lives.
The Queensland CFMEU inquiry this week heard chilling allegations involving surveillance, hidden vehicle trackers, and poisoned family pets. A former administrator, Mark Irving, testified that the union is infected by organized crime. Former department head Amanda Yeates claimed the union followed her children and knew their whereabouts, even identifying the street she was walking to school.
Grant Killen, a security contractor, discovered a tracking device attached to his vehicle after leaving a worksite. He also claimed drones repeatedly flew close to his home, and his dog became critically ill after eating poisoned meat. The inquiry suggests tougher industry-wide regulation is needed to eradicate the criminal influence plaguing the CFMEU and the construction industry.
