CFMEU管理员Michael Crosby在接受媒体采访时透露,他收到了前工会老板John Setka的威胁,当局已采取法律措施进行保护[1]。Crosby表示"我认真对待这些威胁"[1],警方已签发了维州相当于禁制令的法律文件[1]。
自2026年5月被任命为管理员以来,Crosby表示工会已通过移除27名领导人和150名各类员工的行动成功清除腐败[1]。他对建筑行业进一步调查的必要性持怀疑态度,指出"关于CFMEU已进行了四次调查,它们都没有成功"[1]。这番言论与新维州总理Ben Carroll呼吁建立皇家调查委员会的立场形成对比[1]。
Michael Crosby, appointed administrator of the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees' Union (CFMEU) in May 2026, has disclosed receiving threats from former union boss John Setka and revealed that police have secured a restraining order to protect him.[1] In an interview, Crosby stated that he takes the threats seriously, adding that authorities have implemented what amounts to Victoria's equivalent of an apprehended violence order.[1]
The administrator emphasized that the union has made significant progress in purging corruption, having removed 27 leaders and 150 employees across various roles.[1] However, Crosby expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of a royal commission into the building industry, as proposed by New Victoria Premier Ben Carroll, citing a pattern of failed investigations.[1] He noted that "there's been four into the CFMEU [and] they've all failed," suggesting that additional inquiries may not yield meaningful results.[1]
