维多利亚州州长本·卡罗尔宣布成立皇家委员会，调查政府建筑部门的腐败、暴力和不当行为指控 1。该委员会将针对规模达1000亿澳元的Big Build项目展开调查 1，纳税人据估计已在该项目中损失高达150亿澳元 1。卡罗尔表示希望获得"穷尽性"职权范围，确保"没有遗漏任何人" 1。
反腐界人士对此举表示欢迎。前独立反腐委员会专员罗伯特·雷德利希认为该委员会"早就应该成立" 1。然而反对党领导人杰丝·威尔逊对委员会的有效性提出质疑，称其为"虚假皇家委员会" 1，并警告该机构可能受到限制性职权范围的约束，无法深入调查工党人士 1。威尔逊同时呼吁前州长杰辛塔·艾伦必须作证 1。
Victoria's new Premier Ben Carroll has announced the establishment of a royal commission to investigate allegations of corruption, violence, and misconduct within the government's building department.1 The inquiry will examine irregularities associated with the Big Build project, a A$100 billion infrastructure initiative.1 Taxpayers are estimated to have lost up to A$150 billion through the scheme, according to assessments cited in the announcement.1
Carroll has indicated his intention to secure "exhaustive" terms of reference that will ensure "no one is left out" of the investigation.1 However, the opposition has cast doubt on the scope and independence of the inquiry. Opposition leader Jess Wilson has labeled the commission a "fake royal commission," raising concerns that restrictive terms of reference may prevent thorough examination of Labor figures' involvement.1 Wilson has called for former Premier Jacinta Allen to be compelled to testify.1 Despite these criticisms, anti-corruption experts have welcomed the decision, with former Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission Commissioner Robert Redlich stating the commission was "long overdue."1
