Australia’s biggest construction company accused of not paying foreign workers | 7.30

ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Australia’s biggest construction company accused of not paying foreign workers | 7.30” – below is their description.

In what’s been described as a humanitarian disaster, Australia’s biggest construction group stands accused of not paying hundreds of foreign workers and expats in the Middle East. CIMIC, formerly known as Leighton Holdings, has had a scandal-prone history involving major bribery episodes. And in recent days they’ve had a $1.5 billion takeover bid by their major shareholder, ACS. It wants to take the ASX-listed company private, away from the headlines. Gold Walkley-winner Adele Ferguson from The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald returns to 7.30 with this exclusive investigation.
