CFMEU administrator Michael Crosby has publicly discussed threats received from former union boss John Setka, offering a firsthand account of the intimidating behavior. Crosby’s testimony challenges a previous statement made by ex-Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan regarding the nature of the threats. He also expressed skepticism about the overall effectiveness and benefit of royal commissions as investigative tools. The administrator’s comments were made during recent inquiries into the union’s operations and leadership. Crosby’s revelations intensify scrutiny surrounding Setka’s conduct during his time leading the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union. The details suggest a pattern of concerning behavior and raise questions about the integrity of past political statements. This development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing investigations.
