澳大利亚建筑工人工会CFMEU的组织者Luke Gibson在昆士兰州Gold Coast一处工地的卫生间地板上排尿，声称是为了"表明观点"[1]。这一事件在该工会的调查听证会上被披露，现场多名证人作证称目睹了这一行为。
事件发生在Coomera Connector项目Helensvale段的工地[1]。JF Hull Holdings公司的项目主管Scott Holmberg、安全经理Justin O'Neill和电气工会组织者Stephen Bravo等证人在听证会上作证[1]。Gibson对其行为的解释是该排水口应连接到建筑物下方的污水罐[1]。随后清洁人员被召来清理该区域[1]。
2024年3月，工作安全卫生部（WHSQ）检查员Mark Schaumburg在前一天检查人员已清查现场后的次日突然视察了该工地[1]。证人Ellis曾在十年前（2016或2017年）的Logan Motorway项目中经历过该工会的施压，当时警察被要求每45至60分钟进入工地一次，警方表示不介入工会纠纷[1]。Ellis描述称在CFMEU于2024年进入管理前，该工地处于"紧张状态"，员工心理健康受到严重影响[1]。
A Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) organiser deliberately urinated on a bathroom floor at a Gold Coast worksite to demonstrate a point, according to testimony delivered at a Queensland commission of inquiry.[1] Luke Gibson allegedly committed the act at the Coomera Connector project in Helensvale, with multiple site witnesses present.[1] Gibson later claimed the drainage outlet should have connected to a sewage tank beneath the building, according to accounts presented at the hearing.[1]
Project manager Scott Holmberg, safety manager Justin O'Neill from JF Hull Holdings, and electrical union organiser Stephen Bravo all witnessed the incident and subsequently called cleaning staff to address the mess.[1] The matter surfaced during formal proceedings examining the union's conduct, which has been marked by alleged violations and pressure tactics across multiple projects.[1] In March 2024, workplace health and safety inspector Mark Schaumburg conducted a surprise site visit the day after previous inspectors had cleared the location, the inquiry was told.[1]
A site executive provided additional context on the union's broader impact, recounting a similar confrontation at the Logan Motorway project approximately a decade earlier, around 2016 or 2017, where police were called to the site every 45 to 60 minutes but declined to intervene in union disputes.[1] The witness described conditions at the Coomera Connector site as being under significant "tension" prior to CFMEU's formal management involvement in 2024, with serious effects on worker mental health.[1]
