Already a subscriber?The second most powerful official in the CFMEU NSW branch has resigned but the head of the union, Darren Greenfield, is still clinging to power, promising members it’s “business as usual”.
He cited “unbearable pressure” on his family from “sensationalised” media reports and “relentless government scrutiny”. There is no suggestion that the Greenfields are guilty, only that it is unusual for the leader of an organisation to stay in the role after being charged with corruption.Michael Greenfield said: “I have always maintained my innocence in relation to bribery charges brought against me three years ago in 2021.
“Attempts to inflate and agitate matters that have been public knowledge since 2021, and frequently the subject of media scrutiny, are insincere and undermine my right to presumed innocence.”
