Nick McKenzie on the arrest of Mick Gatto and the CFMEU crackdown
About this episode
Nick McKenzie discusses the implications of Mick Gatto's arrest and the police's efforts to address corruption in the building industry.
When one of Australia’s most infamous Victorian gangland figures was arrested last week over an alleged traffic infringement, it raised some eyebrows. So given Mick Gatto’s centrality in the building industry, was this the Victorian police pulling at straws in some last ditch attempt to crack down on suspected corruption? Today, investigative reporter Nick McKenzie on whether this arrest was, as Gatto asserts, “a load of crap”. Or if it’s illustrative of a new dedication by police to clean up an industry that’s been rife with alleged corruption for decades.
