A former chief executive of Master Builders Queensland has testified to an inquiry that he attempted to take his own life following what he described as an intimidation campaign by the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU).
The inquiry heard evidence of the severity of the impact the alleged intimidation had on the former building industry leader's mental health and wellbeing. His testimony represents a significant account within the investigation, documenting the personal consequences he attributes to the union's conduct.
The statement adds to growing scrutiny of CFMEU practices and raises questions about workplace conduct and union tactics within Australia's construction sector.
