‘Don’t pay Gatto, don’t get access’: Leaks expose companies with gangland figure on payroll
A two-year attempted clean-up of Victoria’s Big Build has failed to stop large sums of money flowing from state and federally funded projects to the underworld. Payments are still being made this year.
An explosive leak from an associate of Mick Gatto exposes his secret empire, revealing a sprawling and continuing money trail from Big Build subcontractors to the gangland veteran and his associates. More than a dozen subcontractors on Labor projects have placed Gatto on their payroll.
The revelations come amid a separate leak revealing principal contractors confidentially documented state government directions to cave in to the CFMEU’s lawless takeover of the Big Build. The CFMEU’s Big Build takeover became entrenched while now Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan was minister responsible for the government’s signature $100 billion infrastructure program.
From big house to Big Build: CFMEU chief’s courtroom plea for violent contractor exposed
The union boss greenlighted by the Victorian Labor government to wield huge control over the Big Build vouched in court for a major drug trafficker on two separate occasions before installing him at the helm of a major Big Build firm – only for the criminal to be busted and jailed again.
The support provided by the CFMEU’s now former boss on the Big Build, Joe Myles, to criminal Wayne “Junior” Carter has emerged as a case study of how criminals infiltrated Labor’s signature infrastructure scheme.
Queensland court records uncovered by this masthead reveal that on two occasions, in 2012 and then again in 2020, Myles provided court character references for Carter as the prolific drug trafficker prepared to be jailed for serious crimes, including an eight-year sentence for trafficking dangerous drugs.

‘Offensive and unlawful’: Big Build contractors slapped as ex-watchdogs back royal commission
Victoria’s top labour hire cop has launched an unprecedented attack on the state’s Big Build mega-contractors, saying they are the head of the rotting fish that is the state’s corruption-plagued construction sector and declaring that legal holes mean they get away with appalling wrongdoing.
Labour Hire Commissioner Steve Dargavel’s extraordinary comments came as two respected former top anti-corruption officials issued a damning joint assessment of Premier Jacinta Allan’s failure to clean up the infrastructure scheme she presided over for years as minister.
Former ombudsman Deborah Glass and ex-senior judge and former chief of the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission Robert Redlich said an urgent royal commission was the only remedy that would adequately confront corruption on the government’s signature $109 billion Big Build infrastructure program.
