Ousted CFMEU NSW secretary Darren Greenfield and his son and former deputy received almost $1 million in union members’ money over three years in regular payments that had no clear lines of approval.

The investigator for the CFMEU administration, Geoffrey Watson, SC, is looking into $30,000 a month in so far unaccounted payments that the NSW branch transferred directly to the accounts of former secretary and assistant secretary Darren and Michael Greenfield from 2021 to 2023, sources familiar with the inquiries confirmed.
