Australian ‘ISIS brides’ turned back + Labor's $15bn CFMEU 'cover-up'

Tuesday Headlines: Libs’ hardline immigration policy leaked, ‘ISIS brides’ turned back after leaving Syrian camp for Australia, grandparent of Gus Lamont arrested, intermittent fasting makes “no difference” to weight loss, and Barack Obama clarifies his stance on aliens.

Deep Dive: Allegations of mob-linked figures, intimidation and inflated costs on taxpayer-funded infrastructure have triggered a political firestorm in Australia.

At the centre of it is the construction arm of the CFMEU.

A recent inquiry has floated a $15 billion figure, which the Victorian government says is untested, as it resists calls for another royal commission.

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with award-winning journalist from The Age, Nick McKenzie about what is alleged, how it connects to one of Australia’s largest infrastructure pipelines, and what it reveals about public money, unions and accountability.
