Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has promised a royal commission into the construction sector to investigate alleged corruption and misuse of taxpayer funds on Big Build projects. According to integrity expert William Partlett, while voters will likely see evidence from the commission before the state election, it could actually strengthen Labor's electoral position by demonstrating the government is taking action against corruption. The commission is positioned as a significant signal to voters about the government's commitment to integrity.
