The former secretary of the Victorian-Tasmanian division of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, and Energy Union (CFMEU), John Setka, has been referred to police after making two visits to construction sites.

Expelled from the Labor Party in 2019, Setka resigned from his union office in July this year following allegations of misconduct.
