The CFMEU’s national secretary Zach Smith says the union has appointed Geoffrey Watson, SC to head an independent investigation into its alleged links to organised crime. Watson is a former counsellor assisting the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption, and Smith says his review will inform the future actions of the union. Smith adds that much of the recent media reporting with regard to the CFMEU has been "misinformed"; however, he adds that some of the issues that have been raised must be taken seriously and they will be addressed "head on".
