    Queensland’s key civil construction union raised concerns with former Labor ministers and public servants about the legality of major infrastructure procurement policies, an inquiry has heard.

    Australian Workers’ Union state secretary Stacey Schinnerl also identified the previously unnamed CFMEU official who had a close personal relationship with a regulator’s employee.

    And Schinnerl revealed a planned, and funded, attempt by the CFMEU to take control of her union at a future election amid national efforts to push into the civil construction sector.

    TOM HARTLEY, REPORTER: This bridge over Brisbane River was meant to be a straightforward job: a duplication to ease one of the city’s worst choke points. 

    Instead, the Centenary Bridge became a structure suspended over troubled waters – a metaphor for the CFMEU and a showcase of the union’s militant playbook. Ground zero for incidents like this. 

    STACEY SCHINNERL, AUSTRALIAN WORKERS UNION:  I never wanted it to come to this, I simply wanted it to stop. 

    TOM HARTLEY:  That clash was the culmination of years of tension between the CFMEU and Australian Workers Union.  This week, that rivalry – that “turf war” – dominated the second sitting of the Commission of Inquiry.

    Qld CFMEU branch allegedly misused fees in $50m deal, inquiry hears

    The final report into the Queensland CFMEU is due to be handed down by July 2026. (ABC News: Luke Bowden)

    The administrator of the CFMEU, who took control of all of the union's construction branches in 2024 due to allegations of corruption, has given evidence to a Queensland inquiry.

    Mark Irving KC told the hearing the alleged violence within the CFMEU was a "cancer" and that he planned to terminate the membership of prominent members.

    Commissioner Stuart Wood KC is due to deliver his final report to the Queensland government in July next year.

    The CFMEU administrator has revealed plans to expel ousted Queensland, Victorian and New South Wales leaders, describing alleged violence within the powerful union as a "cancer".

    CFMEU administrator Mark Irving is now taking the inquiry through the actions the union has been taking under his control in working with other unions, employer groups and some governments.This has included monthly meetings with the Master Builders Association, major contractors and subcontractor groups – though he says this hasn’t played out quite the same way in Queensland.Irving says the union in Queensland stands ready and willing to engage and “move forward to a new relationship” that is available to “all of the states who wish to participate”.When questioned by his counsel, Chris O’Grady, about the idea of deregistering the union, Irving says such action would lead to “chaos” and was opposed by major employers.
