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.

Pauline Lockie from WestCONnex Action Group speaks to 2RRR's RadioActive about WestCONnex. Topics covered include major WestCONnex contractors Leighton and Samsung being named in a global corruption scandal, protests against drilling works on the unapproved New M5, and deeper issues around WestCONnex's lack of transparency and corrupted planning processes.

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.
