Charles Farrugia

Charles Farrugia is a former CFMEU representative who became a whistleblower, alleging corruption and intimidation within the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU). His claims include being coerced to cover up a crime in exchange for job security on major public infrastructure projects and detailing a culture of nepotism and corruption within the union's Victorian branch. After a violent altercation with a fellow union delegate, Farrugia faced intimidation and threats, yet he continues to advocate for a thorough investigation into the practices of the CFMEU.
