Royal Commission into Big Build corruption begins
A Royal Commission into corruption on Victoria's Big Build projects begins tomorrow with opening remarks. The opposition has raised concerns that former premiers Daniel Andrews and Jacinta Allan could use cabinet confidentiality immunity to avoid answering questions about secret cabinet meetings. Premier Ben Carroll has also announced new regulations for data centres requiring renewable energy, recycled water, and 150-metre buffer zones, though these rules won't apply retrospectively to existing or approved facilities.
