Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has called on the party’s national executive to cut Victorian Labor’s ties with the CFMEU immediately.

It comes after a joint investigation alleged that organised crime and gang bikie members secured roles as delegates for the construction division of the Construction, Forestry, and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) in Victoria.
