In April 2016, WestCONnex Action Group joined forces with Victoria's Yarra Campaign for Action on Transport and WA's Rethink the Link to make a submission to the Senate Committee on the establishment of a National Integrity Commission. We supported it on the basis that a federal anti-corruption body would be well-placed to investigate issues related to WestCONnex, the East West Link and Perth Freight Link. This was our joint cover letter.

A PEACEFUL protest against drilling works for the unapproved WestCONnex New M5 came to an abrupt end today after riot police were called in to Alfred St, St Peters.

DRILLING for the WestCONnex New M5 was stopped today following reports that two of the project’s major contractors, Leighton and Samsung, used corrupt practices to secure billion-dollar government contracts overseas.

WESTCONNEX New M5 contractors carrying out construction works for the toll road ahead of planning approval called police today after residents occupied their planned drilling site at Tempe Reserve. 

RESIDENTS of an apartment complex in Knocklayde St Ashfield forced WestCONnex to abandon drilling on their property yesterday after it failed to prove it had the legal right to carry out the work.

WESTCONNEX contractors carrying out geotechnical drilling in Haberfield called police this morning after residents entered the site to ask why work on the M4 East is commencing before any planning approval is granted.
