VICTORIA'S CORRUPTION & MALADMINISTRATION REVEALED

Corruption and Maladministration in Victoria:
A Comprehensive Overview
This covers findings from IBAC, the Victorian Ombudsman, the Auditor-General (VAGO), and other credible sources. It is organised by domain.
1. Construction Industry & the Big Build — CFMEU
This is arguably the most significant recent scandal.
In 2024, several news outlets revealed that organised crime and bikie gangs had infiltrated Victoria's Big Build project through the CFMEU. The scandal prompted Premier Jacinta Allan to call for accountability from Victoria Police and IBAC.
Lawlessness in the Victorian construction sector caused by the CFMEU saw the cost of the Big Build blow out by at least 15%, with claims that around $15 billion in taxpayer money flowed to corrupt CFMEU officials, standover men, outlaw motorcycle gangs, drug dealers and organised crime.
Redacted government documents claim officials monitored cost blowouts yet "did nothing", allegedly intimidated by the CFMEU's power. Opposition leaders labelled it the state's worst corruption case, amid a $150.9 billion net debt as of mid-2025. The CFMEU administrator confirmed referrals to Victoria Police, the AFP, and Fair Work.
The investigation alleged that organised crime figures and convicted criminals had infiltrated the Construction and General Division of the CFMEU particularly in Victoria, NSW and Queensland, with associations translating into pressure on construction companies, rival union officials, and government infrastructure programs. The reporting included documented links between named CFMEU officials and individuals with criminal histories.
Allan has rejected a royal commission. The administration of the CFMEU is scheduled to continue until at least 2027.
2. Operation Perseus — Victorian Building Authority Bribery
One of IBAC's largest ever prosecutions.
Operation Perseus investigated corrupt conduct at the Victorian Building Authority (VBA), involving the assessment of builder registrations in exchange for financial benefit. Between August 2024 and May 2025, IBAC charged 38 people with a total of 369 offences.
Former VBA employee Philip Caccamo pleaded guilty to accepting bribes of more than $700,000 over four years, to corruptly facilitate the approval of at least 69 builder registrations. He was convicted of misconduct in public office and sentenced to 36 months' imprisonment with a 16-month non-parole period. 14 people have now been convicted and sentenced.
3. Operation Sandon — Casey Council Planning Corruption
IBAC's Operation Sandon investigated corrupt conduct involving councillors and property developers in Melbourne's south-east City of Casey. It examined whether councillors accepted payments, gifts, or other benefits — including political donations — in exchange for supporting planning decisions that favoured developer John Woodman and his clients.
IBAC found that councillors Sam Aziz and Geoff Ablett promoted John Woodman's and his clients' interests on council in exchange for payment and in-kind support, and both failed to declare conflicts of interest on many occasions.
A former Casey councillor has since been charged with five offences including one count of receiving secret commissions and two counts each of misconduct in public office and misuse of position. A consultant involved in the property development industry was charged with giving secret commissions.
The report made 34 wide-reaching recommendations to promote planning integrity at both state and local government levels.
4. Operation Leo — Moonee Valley City Council
Operation Leo investigated whether Moonee Valley City Council councillors used their positions as elected officials to seek or obtain preferential outcomes for the Essendon Royals Soccer Club (ERSC). The investigation found that some councillors used their positions to inappropriately influence council decisions, bypass decision-making processes and inappropriately disclose information.
IBAC found that former Mayor Cameron Nation received cocaine in exchange for assisting on several property-related matters, including influencing the outcome of council applications.
IBAC also found that the construction manager and the ERSC president discussed bribing councillors for favourable votes. Possible bribes discussed ranged from $15,000 to $50,000 to be split between Nation and two other councillors, with an additional $10,000 for the construction manager as middleman. IBAC identified that some councillors contravened their obligations by failing to declare conflicts of interest, not declaring gifts and hospitality, and not reporting suspected corrupt conduct.
5. Operation Watts — Branch Stacking & Misuse of Public Funds
Operation Watts was the first joint investigation ever conducted by IBAC and the Victorian Ombudsman. It investigated how branch stacking in the Victorian branch of the ALP resulted in the alleged misuse of public funds for party political purposes, and subversion of parliamentary standards and processes.
The Watts report commented that Victoria had become a laggard rather than a leader in matters of parliamentary integrity. It recommended that a joint Parliamentary Ethics Committee be established, and an independent Parliamentary Integrity Commissioner be established. More than a year elapsed since those recommendations were accepted before implementation began.
The scandal involved former Labor minister Adem Somyurek, whose secret recordings allegedly showed him organising branch stacking and using his ministerial staff for party political work, which prompted his sacking from Cabinet.
6. Operation Daintree — Ministerial Pressure on Procurement
Operation Daintree exposed how improper influence compromised the procurement process for a $1.2 million contract awarded to a union-established training group. Evidence was found of pressure exerted on Department of Health and Human Services staff to award the contract to the Health Education Federation (HEF), which raised reasonable suspicion of corrupt conduct by ministers and ministerial staff.
After the Minister's Chief of Staff said the Minister would be unhappy about a competitive procurement process, a Deputy Secretary of DHHS decided that the Minister did not need to provide instructions on their preferred procurement process — and authorised a non-competitive process in which only the HEF would be asked to provide a bid. This occurred just before the 2018 state election caretaker period.
7. Operation Bredbo — Police Corruption
IBAC charged four people with 48 charges related to Operation Bredbo, an investigation into allegations that a former Detective Sergeant was paid by associates to utilise his position as a police officer to misuse information, improperly influence others and commit blackmail in Melbourne between 2018 and 2022. He was charged with 17 counts of misconduct in public office, six counts of blackmail, ten counts of bribery, and one count each of attempting to pervert the course of justice and supply of an audio-visual recording.
8. Victoria Police — Systemic Misconduct Trends
In 2025, IBAC received more than 2,300 complaints and notifications relating to Victoria Police, making up approximately 65 per cent of all complaints received by IBAC. In total, 47 preliminary inquiries and investigations into Victoria Police commenced in 2025 — an increase of approximately 46 per cent compared to 2024.
IBAC's preliminary inquiries and investigations examined allegations relating to use of excessive force, improper searches, unlawful arrests and mishandling of family violence incidents, resulting in 51 recommendations.
In IBAC's 2024 Perceptions of Corruption survey, a significant proportion of Victoria Police employees described misconduct culture within police as "weak" (54 per cent vs 15 per cent for comparison groups) and highly vulnerable to corruption or misconduct (42 per cent vs 14 per cent).
In February 2025, Chief Commissioner Shane Patton resigned after a no-confidence vote by the police union.
9. Politicisation of the Public Sector
The Victorian Ombudsman's December 2023 report found a public sector that has been politicised in "equally pervasive" ways — not through outright ALP stacking, but through "the closing down or marginalisation of apolitical, independent voices."
The investigation involved interviews of 45 senior public officials and a review of millions of records across more than a dozen agencies. It found frequent examples where agencies sidestepped merit-based recruitment, with 11 of 16 hiring decisions examined involving direct appointments.
The Ombudsman examined the appointment of a former ministerial staffer to an executive role at a key infrastructure agency, and how this influenced early phases of the Suburban Rail Loop — a project directly tied to the ALP's electoral prospects at the 2018 Victorian election, announced less than three months before polling day.
10. VAGO — Contractor and Consultant Transparency Failures
The Auditor-General found that Victorian departments are not required to and do not consistently report to the public on how much they spend on contractors, resulting in a lack of transparency about use of public funds.
DTF accepted VAGO's 2023 recommendation to assess whether requiring contractor spending disclosure in annual reports would increase transparency — but while DTF originally said it would address this by June 2024, as of April 2025 it had not completed its assessment. VAGO also found that departments "could not always show us how they made sure labour hire workers were doing a good job" and "could not always show us examples of work completed by their labour hire workers."
11. Community-Wide Perception of Corruption
IBAC's 2024 survey of 9,236 respondents found broad agreement that corruption exists in Victoria across all groups surveyed, with nine in ten respondents agreeing with this sentiment. Seventy-two per cent of the broader community and 77 per cent of business suppliers indicated corruption is a problem.
In the 2025 survey of MPs and councillors, 96 per cent of MPs who responded considered "inaction" — such as failing to report wrongdoing — the highest corruption and misconduct risk among their elected colleagues.

The picture that emerges is one of corruption and maladministration operating across multiple layers simultaneously — state government, local government, the building regulatory body, the construction industry, and the police force — with integrity agencies active but often underpowered relative to the scale of the problem.
🚨INSANE: TikTok has BANNED the hashtag #WhiteLivesMatter, claiming it violates community guidelines.
Yet search #BlackLivesMatter and it’s fully visible with millions of posts.
Same platform, different rules.
They’ll tell you “two-tier” standards are a myth in Britain.
Ladies PLEASE be cautious of catching Ubers/ taxi’s alone.
“A Mongolian immigrant rideshare driver has been charged with raping a teenage girl in his car in Sydney.

NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN
It would seem that @LisaJaneSpencer has been sacked from her job as Leftists went crazy over her satire comedy video and went to the extent to doxx the place in which she works and have her sacked from her job.
Comedy is about ripping on anyone and everyone, no one is off limits.
The moment you make certain groups off limits is the moment you go down the slippery slope of no return.
@PenHotSprings shame on you.

Anthony Albanese just dumped millions in investment properties — cashing out a portfolio worth around $5 million — right before his own government rams through toxic new taxes on negative gearing and the capital gains discount. This isn't leadership; it's the rankest hypocrisy and textbook insider trading by a Prime Minister who built his wealth on the very property perks he's now torching for everyone else. While everyday Aussies get screwed with higher taxes and wrecked aspirations, Albo quietly pockets his gains and moves on. Pure, self-serving corruption from a man who lectures the rest of us about 'fairness. Vote Pauline Hanson One Nation.
🚨 BRITAIN IS BROKEN: 15yo British Girl Gang Raped by TWO Afghan Asylum Seekers – And They’re HIDING the Proof! 😡
A 15-year-old girl in Leamington Spa was brutally gang-raped in broad daylight by Israr Niazal and Jan Jahanzeb – Afghan migrants who came here claiming “safety.”
She fought back. She recorded her desperate screams for help on her phone as she begged a passerby to save her.
The monsters pleaded guilty. Yet instead of maximum sentences, they got soft youth detention.
Worse? Her own lawyers BLOCKED the release of that horrifying audio – terrified it would spark nationwide riots and expose the grooming gang nightmare they’ve been covering up for years.
This isn’t justice. This is TREASON against British girls. Two-tier policing. Two-tier justice. An elite more scared of “far-right” backlash than protecting our children from imported savagery.
How many more daughters have to be sacrificed before Britain wakes up?
Share if you’re sick of the cover-ups. Demand the audio be released NOW.

We cannot back down just because of spurious racism smears.”
Hard truths > fake outrage. Protect taxpayers. Stop the fraud. 🇺🇸
She removed 1M videos so that people could only see videos consistent with her beliefs. Think about it: 1 million videos. Do you think that the people who created these videos were just making stuff up?
