Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has taken heat for apologising about corruption worries linked to the Big Build scheme.
She spurned calls to launch an investigation into the issue.
A watchdog agency received a tip raising concerns about involvement in Big Build deals.
Allan also endorsed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s remarks about Kylie Minogue, describing them as just her own opinion.
Unions like the CFMEU remain key in large transport projects like the Airport Rail Link.
Questions about building rules and compliance remain on the table.
Critics contend that the lack of a thorough inquiry weakens public confidence.
The government says it is prioritising delivering projects on time and within budget.
Opposition parties have called for a parliamentary committee to examine the allegations.
