Synopsis | Building Bad (2024)
As a boss of the militant CFMEU, for 12 years John Setka was as tough and feared a union
leader as this country has ever seen. In that time he made plenty of noise, but late on Friday afternoon, with barely a whimper, he suddenly quit.
What he didn’t mention in his resignation announcement though was his decision to stand down came after we sent him a list of detailed questions he wouldn’t answer.
We wanted him to explain why his construction branch of the CFMEU had been infiltrated by underworld figures and outlaw motorcycle gang members. What John Setka did say was he hoped his departure would end scrutiny of his union.
Well as you’ll see tonight, it doesn’t.
And a warning, this story contains coarse language.
