The faces behind Queensland’s cocaine trafficking trade have been exposed in court, ranging from high-flying business owners to suburban dealers.
Some led lavish lifestyles and headed sinister drug operations, while others were enticed into offending by their own addictions.
Cocaine use continues to run rampant in Queensland, with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) recently seizing more than 250kg of the drug worth about $82 million from a single shipping container in Brisbane.
Australian Border Force (ABF) Commander Troy Sokoloff said the major drug bust served as a “powerful warning”.
“The ABF, in close collaboration with the AFP, have eyes and ears everywhere,” he said.
“...Your attempts will be detected, your drugs will be seized, and you will be held to account.”
With sentences ranging from three to 15 years, see the cocaine traffickers who have faced Queensland’s court in recent years and how they were caught:

Benjamin James Foran
The former private school boy used encrypted apps and social media to traffic wholesale amounts of cocaine, MDMA and ketamine.
Foran was only 18 throughout the seven-month trafficking period in 2021, Brisbane Supreme Court was told at his sentence last January.
In that time, Foran made arrangements to supply drugs on 105 occasions to seven customers – using encrypted apps Signal, Threema and Telegram, as well as Instagram and Snapchat to communicate.
The court heard he had sold high quality “pearl” cocaine for up to $14,000 an ounce, and had boasted about selling kilograms of MDMA each week.
When police raided his Carseldine home in November 2021, they discovered large quantities of drugs.
Foran had started using ketamine daily after becoming involved in Brisbane’s nightclub scene, the court heard – with his drug habit costing him up to $2500 per week.
He pleaded guilty to trafficking and was sentenced to five years jail, wholly suspended.
Shea Daniel Bartholom Fox
The former nightclub co-owner was given three years jail with immediate parole for his involvement in a cocaine dealing operation.
Brisbane Supreme Court heard at Fox’s sentence in October 2023 that Fox was part of a “larger business” which ran from May 2020 to March 2021 at Rolling Rock nightclub at Noosa Heads.
Fox was found with six bags of cocaine – which included a kilo of pure cocaine in nearly 6kg of substance – during a search of the venue in 2021.
The court heard Fox had put the proceeds towards his drug habit and lifestyle expenses – including a new car.
Since being charged however, he commenced mindset coaching, physical training and started his own cleaning company.
Fox pleaded guilty to trafficking in dangerous drugs, possessing a dangerous drug, and possessing items used in connection with drug trafficking.
He was sentenced to three years jail with immediate parole.
Lawson Gerard Hayles
Hayles, an ex-pro surfer, helped a drug syndicate sell $467,795 worth of cocaine and ice to at least 200 customers.
Brisbane’s Supreme Court heard Hayles had been part of a syndicate that made over 500 drug sales over a 12-month period in 2019 and 2020.
Prosecutor Patrick Wilson said Hayles was “more than a mere courier” but that it was difficult to place his level in the syndicate’s hierarchy.
Defence barrister Matthew Hynes said his client had had a gun held to his head to force him to take part in selling drugs.
He said Hayles had been burned with hot irons and had his eye socket fractured with a hammer by individuals who broke into his boxing gym in October 2022.
Justice Callaghan accepted there was a “real risk” of Hayles “suffering further violence” if jailed.
Hayles was given a wholly-suspended five year sentence after he pleaded guilty to trafficking.
Matthew James Long
Long trafficked cocaine out of his Sunshine Coast boxing gym after relapsing into his own addiction.
Brisbane’s Supreme Court heard at his sentence last March how he had moved to Noosa for a fresh start and poured his life savings into the gym at the end of 2019.
But he relapsed into his cocaine habit after the Covid-19 pandemic crippled the business – along with his mental health.
He trafficked cocaine for a year from March 2020, with amounts typically ranging from 1 to 3 grams.
The court heard Long had accumulated an unexplained wealth of $28,000 over the offending period, with Justice Lincoln Crowley saying he had been motivated by a desire to make money.
“In part I accept that you were using or intended to use profits from the trafficking in order to obtain drugs for your own personal use but that does not seem to me to be the primary motivation,” he said.
Long pleaded guilty to trafficking and was sentenced to five years in jail, to be suspended after he served 12 months in actual custody.
Joshua Peter Moore
Moore was sentenced to nine years jail last May for his role as a boss of a drug trafficking ring.
Police found Moore’s lavish purchases, including a jet ski, Rolex watch, and a Lamborghini, at his home after his arrest in November 2021.
Brisbane’s Supreme Court heard how he had enlisted others to pick up 3.6kg of cocaine from New South Wales on nine occasions.
The drugs were then transported to Moore’s Seven Hills home and sold across Brisbane and the Gold Coast – on one occasion selling up to 1kg for $230,000.
Moore was arrested after he picked up one of the couriers in Coolangatta and police intercepted them with 1kg of cocaine in a cryovac bag in a paint tin.
Moore pleaded guilty to the trafficking and will be eligible for parole in 2028.
Dustin William Rodway
Rodway, a construction company owner, made about $1000 a week trafficking cocaine to his friends, colleagues and associates.
The Brisbane Supreme Court heard the Pacific Pines father had trafficked cocaine at a street level between October 2021 and January 2022.
When police raided his home in January 2022, they located more than 7g of cocaine along with steroid-like drugs, phones, scales, and clipseal bags.
Justice Melanie Hindman said Rodway was a family man who spiralled into selling drugs after starting to use drugs himself.
Rodway received a wholly suspended jail term of three-and-a-half years after he pleaded guilty to drug trafficking last May.
Jarryd Kenneth Simpson
Simpson was sentenced to 15 years jail in March after being found guilty of drug trafficking at trial.
The court heard Simpson trafficked large quantities of drugs to suppliers from the Gold Coast to Maroochydore between August 2016 and October 2017.
The drugs had included 958.7kg of cannabis, 2kg of cocaine, and 16,210 MDMA pills, generating at least $4.2 million in revenue.
Simpson had attempted to conceal the operation through a fake cleaning business, “Sunny Coast Cleaning”.
Police busted him and his interstate cocaine supplier at an apartment in Admiralty Towers, near Brisbane’s CBD, with an industrial-sized cocaine machine press and various drugs.
The prosecution alleged Simpson’s trafficking had involved serious organised crime, but Justice Frances Williams found him not guilty of that aggravating feature.
Simpson was sentenced to 15 years jail with parole eligibility on October 8, 2029.
Reubhan Mickeal Gary Ralph
An aspiring FIFO worker’s involvement as a courier in a Sunshine Coast drug syndicate was revealed in court documents in August 2024.
Reubhan Mickeal Gary Ralph, 27, was regarded as an “employee” in the cocaine enterprise between November 21, 2021 and May 14, 2022 where he would conduct deliveries and debt collection.
Justice Elizabeth Wilson said the 27-year-old’s offending came to light following a police operation in 2021 and 2022 targeting drug dealing on the Sunshine Coast.
The court heard the 27-year-old spent five months in custody leading up to his sentence on other charges, and also completed time in a residential rehabilitation program.
Ralph was jailed for three and a half years which was immediately suspended. He was also placed on a two and a half year probation order.
Gene Isaac Shaw
A cocaine syndicate trafficker first came to the attention of cops when they found the expensive drug hidden in a pencil case at his unit in a prestigious suburb of Brisbane.
When police searched Gene Isaac Shaw’s unit in Hamilton they found 25 grams of pure cocaine worth an estimated $17,000 in October 2020 but opted not to charge him.
Instead police launched a broader operation into drug dealing within southeast Queensland which uncovered a trafficking syndicate that Shaw and others were involved in, Brisbane’s Supreme Court heard in April 2025.
Crown prosecutor Luke Smoothy said Shaw’s role in the syndicate was predominantly supplying coke in 1 to 3.5g amounts to end users. He had a regular customer base of 62 people. Shaw was arrested in March 2022.
He pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine from February to November 2021, money laundering from September 2020 to November 2021 and possessing cocaine at Hamilton in October 2020.
Shaw was sentenced to five years jail to be suspended after 12 months.
Adrian John Doessel
A tradie who ran a sophisticated trafficking business selling coke, MDMA and cannabis to customers on the Sunshine Coast was jailed in October 2024.
Adrian John Doessel, 27, faced Brisbane’s Supreme Court where he pleaded guilty to trafficking drugs, possessing cannabis in excess of 500 grams, possessing more than two grams of cocaine and MDMA, two counts of possessing drugs, three counts of possessing property obtained from trafficking and possessing anything used in the commission of trafficking.
Crown prosecutor Ron Swanwick said Doessel trafficked cocaine and MDMA at a street level and sold wholesale amount of cannabis from July 2022 to July 2023.
Justice Catherine Muir said the offending was relatively sophisticated and brazen.
However she accepted he had good prospects of rehabilitation, displayed genuine remorse, co-operated extensively, had community support and taken steps in the right direction.
Doessel was sentenced to six years jail with a parole eligibility date of March 30 2026.
Jye Bradley Pearson
A 20-year-old apprentice carpenter whose was selling drugs via social media chat rooms was in January 2025 sentenced in Hervey Bay Magistrates Court.
Jye Bradley Pearson pleaded guilty to offences committed between July and December 2024 including five counts of possessing dangerous drugs, two counts of supplying dangerous drugs, supplying hazardous poisons, possessing an instrument used in commission with a crime, possessing utensils, possessing restrictive medicines without an authority, and breaching bail orders.
Pearson was placed on 12 months’ probation with the condition that he attends counselling and education on illicit substance use.
Convictions were recorded.
Samuel McNeill
A Noosa father was in November 2024 released on parole after a raid on his home discovered a nefarious drug den and weapons including a large amount of low quality cocaine.
Samuel McNeill was at his large acreage block at Doonan on August 22, 2022 when a targeted search warrant conducted by police uncovered the major bust.
The details of this drug raid were detailed in sentencing remarks published following his sentence in the Brisbane Supreme Court following guilty pleas to several charges including two counts of possessing weapons, possessing drugs over the schedule and producing dangerous drugs.
Chief Justice Helen Bowskill said a search of the 37-year-old’s property found 61.346g of cocaine, however only 5.498g was pure cocaine.
McNeill was jailed for three years but granted immediate parole. Convictions were recorded.
Casey Norder
A teenage cocaine dealer watched his drug-dealing operation come tumbling down because of his inability to look sober in front of police at Airlie Beach.
The Mackay district court in August 2024 heard Lismore-born Casey Norder was clearly under the influence of cocaine when police spotted him stumbling through the nightlife district on December 23, 2022.
Causing suspicion, police detained and searched Norder finding several clip-seal bags with drugs in his bum-bag, a $10 note rolled up into a scoop with drug residue and a whopping $3,370 in cash.
The 20-year-old pleaded guilty at an early stage, had no prior criminal history and was clean since his arrest, proving it with drug screenings.
Crown Prosecutor Ashleigh Worthington made reference to his ‘excellent prospects of rehabilitation’ when deciding to hand down a suspended sentence.
Norder was sentenced to 16 months in prison, wholly suspended for a period of 2.5 years, and walked from court a free man.
Joshua Leslie Hawkins
A Gold Coast plumber who played a role in a scheme to import more than a kilogram of cocaine into the region was in May 2025 jailed.
Joshua Leslie Hawkins, 34, formerly of Broadbeach Waters but more recently Tamborine Mountain, appeared in Brisbane Supreme Court, where he pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing a marketable quantity of an unlawfully imported border controlled drug.
The offence was committed on April 21, 2023 at Elanora, according to published sentencing remarks by Justice Michael Copley KC.
Justice Copley said Hawkins had a number of factors in favour of moderating the sentence, including his “very, very limited criminal history”, his early plea of guilty, his co-operation with police, and his good work history as a plumber (Hawkins owns his own business, Sky Hawk Plumbing & Gas).
Justice Copley, who said he thought it unlikely Hawkins would offend again, sentenced the defendant to six years’ imprisonment with release on court-ordered parole after serving two years behind bars.
Timothy Daryl Barron
A Central Queensland power station employee who became addicted to cocaine was trafficking the drug, and marijuana, to his mining colleagues, friends and family members, a court heard in July 2024.
Biloela football coach and former jumping castle business owner Timothy Daryl Barron, 43, was sentenced in the Supreme Court in Rockhampton for two counts of trafficking dangerous drugs.
Crown prosecutor Kathryn Walker said Barron had at least 22 customers and at least one employee.
Barron trafficked cocaine for just over four months from October 25, 2020 to March 4, 2021, and marijuana for eight months from July 27, 2020 to April 9, 2021 to support his own cocaine addiction and to buy things for his wife and three children, the court heard.
Barron pleaded guilty to two counts of trafficking a dangerous drug, one of supplying a dangerous drug, one of possessing anything used in the commission of a crime and one of possessing property suspected being the proceeds of drugs.
Justice Graeme Crow sentenced him to four years prison, ordered him to serve six months in prison and declared four days presentence custody as time already served.
Barron was due to be released from prison on January 18, 2025.
Dru Anthony Baggaley
The brother of an Olympic silver medallist in October 2024 pleaded guilty to attempting to import commercial quantities of cocaine into Australia – after successfully overturning his conviction for the exact same charge.
Dru Anthony Baggaley, younger brother of Olympic kayaker Nathan Baggaley, faced Brisbane Supreme Court where he pleaded guilty to attempting to import a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug (cocaine) between December 16, 2017 and August 2, 2018 at Coolangatta.
Mr Baggaley had previously pleaded not guilty to the same charge in 2021 and was found guilty at trial.
Byron Bay-born Baggaley, 49, a two-time Olympic silver medallist, and younger brother Dru, 43, were each sentenced to more than 20 years’ imprisonment after a Supreme Court jury found them guilty in 2021 of attempting to import hundreds of kilograms of cocaine into northern New South Wales.
A retrial was ordered after the pair successfully appealed. Last November, their sentences were reduced to 13 years and 15 years respectively after they pleaded guilty to the charge.
Christian Bong Collado
A personal trainer was in February 2025 sentenced to six years jail for “pushing a large amount of cocaine into the community”.
Christian Bong Collado, 39, who arrived in Australia from the Philippines when he was 18, trafficked anywhere from 30 to 60 ounces of cocaine over a seven and half month period receiving up to $180,000 of unsourced income, Brisbane’s Supreme Court heard.
For the first two and half months Collado worked alone selling one to two grams of cocaine in what’s known as ‘street level’ trafficking. He was purchasing an ounce for $7000 to $8000 and clearing $3000 to $4000 profit.
Justice Elizabeth Wilson accepted he was genuinely remorseful and had entered timely pleas of guilty to drug trafficking, money laundering, three counts of supplying MDMA, two counts each of aggravated possession and possession of drugs and one count each of possess property suspected of having been used in connection with the commission of a drug offence, possession of property suspected of being the proceeds of an offence under drugs misuse act and buy or possess s4 or s8 medicines or hazardous poisons.
Justice Wilson said she would treat Collado as a first-time offender given his minor criminal history which contained no drug convictions.
Collado will be eligible for parole in April 2026.
Ian Robert Armstrong
A convicted drug trafficker who has also carried out bomb hoax in his decades-long history of 21 sentences for 111 offences was back in court in December 2024 for his most recent crimes.
Justice Graeme Crow said Ian Robert Armstrong, 39, had an appalling criminal history before he relapsed with possession of a commercial quantity of meth, twice, along with seven supplies of drugs and other drug related offences.
Police intercepted Armstrong walking near Glenmore Tavern at 10.40pm on December 31, 2023, and found him with $4150 which he claimed were proceeds of pokies winnings but that the prosecution said were the proceeds of drug sales as investigations revealed Armstrong’s version untrue.
A search of Armstrong’s motel room at the Glenmore Palms Hotel resulted in police locating Armstrong’s “party pack” which included 7.076 grams of pure meth in 9.246 grams of substance, 0.591 grams of cocaine, 2.647 grams of MDMA, two grams of marijuana, 12 suboxone strips, eight diazepam tablets, scales, glass pipe, straw and nine Viagra tablets.
Armstrong was charged and released on bail.
Armstrong was busted again with a large number of drugs on February 10, 2024.
Armstrong pleaded guilty on December 4 to six counts of possessing dangerous drugs, one of supplying a dangerous drug, two of possessing more than two grams of a schedule one drug, three of possessing or buying an S4 or S8 medicines or hazardous poisons, two counts of possessing used drug pipes and two of possessing property suspected to be proceeds of a drug offence.
He was sentenced to a total of 4.5 years prison with 298 days presentence custody declared as time served, and parole eligibility set for August 9, 2025.
Jordan Roman Brennan
A wannabe coke handler, whose luxury watches were seized by cops setting off a chain of events that saw an organised crime cop charged and later acquitted of stealing and selling the timepieces, in April 2025 lost his appeal alongside his co-accused.
Jordan Roman Brennan and his co-accused Brendan John Sipple were jailed the previous year for attempting to possess tens of kilos of cocaine they believed were hidden inside a shipping container at the Port of Brisbane in 2020.
The case turned on whether the men accessed the container to extract the cocaine.
Following a jury trial in Brisbane’s Supreme Court both men were found guilty of a single charge each of attempted possession of commercial quantities of unlawfully imported border controlled drugs.
Brennan was sentenced to 11 years’ jail while Sipple was handed a 12 year term of imprisonment.
Both men launched an appeal arguing the trial judge erred by ruling evidence of uncharged offending admissible, the jury’s verdict was unreasonable or could not be supported by the evidence and thirdly a miscarriage of justice occurred by the failure of prosecution to disclose relevant information.
Christopher Aaron Lohmann
A court in September 2024 heard how a raid on a Sunshine Coast miner’s home uncovered his drug dealing side hustle where he would supply cocaine to his mates.
Christopher Aaron Lohmann, a local rugby player and father, had his minor cocaine side job busted by police following a search warrant on his home on September 12, 2023.
Maroochydore District Court heard the 38-year-old turned to drugs during a “tumultuous chapter” of his life, following the end of a relationship, when he was charged by police.
Defence barrister Patrick Wilson said his client’s offending was out of character and occurred during an “unusual” period of his life.
Lohmann pleaded guilty to 10 charges including six counts of supplying dangerous drugs was jailed for 18 months, suspended immediately for 18 months.
Chad Te Ahu Alex Campbell-Willoughby
A man who couriered cocaine for a ‘sophisticated’ $400k enterprise to fuel his own addiction had walked free on a wholly suspended sentence.
Chad Te Ahu Alex Campbell-Willoughby, 30, faced sentence at Brisbane Supreme Court in November 2024 for trafficking cocaine over a three-month period in 2022.
Crown prosecutor Hamish McIntyre said Campbell-Willoughby had worked under the instruction of co-offender Reece Jacob Cribb to courier drugs, alongside a second co-offender Joshua Mark Emery.
Mr McIntyre said Campbell-Willoughby and Emery supplied to 35 customers on nearly 300 occasions, with amounts ranging from a gram to an ounce of cocaine.
Emery had received a wholly suspended four-and-a-half years for his “comparable” involvement to Campbell-Willoughby’s, whereas Cribb had been sentenced to eight years with parole eligibility in May 2026.
Justice Declan Kelly found that an order requiring Campbell-Willoughby to serve time in custody would be detrimental to his efforts at rehabilitation.
He sentenced him to five years jail, wholly suspended for an operational period of five years.
Campbell-Willoughby’s day in presentence custody was taken into account but not declared time-served.
Stephen Michael O’Carroll
A Mackay-based barber traded his clippers for a cell where he spent more than 12 months in custody after he was busted for an illegal side hustle that included dealing cocaine.
But his barrister claimed he had only been a middleman in the drug deal with both sides in Mackay District Court agreeing the 31-year-old Irish national’s jail sentence should be cut short to what he had already served while on remand.
Former Gold Empire Tattoo Barber worker Stephen Michael O’Carroll was caught with 1.7g of meth in 2.43g of powder, 17.8g of marijuana and drug paraphernalia when police raided his Mount Pleasant home on May 26, 2024 – information on his phone revealed he had supplied seven grams of cocaine to another for $1400 on May 2.
O’Carroll pleaded guilty to supplying and possessing dangerous drugs, possessing used drug items and cash, as well as breaching bail twice and wilfully causing $300 damage to a police mattress.
Crown prosecutor Monique Sheppard said O’Carroll had been in custody on remand for 377 days and served well over two thirds of what might be the total penalty for his offending.
O’Carroll was allowed immediate parole and convictions were recorded.
Daniel Nunes Negrine
A man who fled the state for over a decade – abandoning his fiance just months before their wedding – was in October 2024 jailed after a Brisbane jury found him guilty of attempting to import over a kilo of cocaine into Australia.
Daniel Nunes Negrine, 42, was sentenced to eight years jail after being found guilty at trial of conspiring to import a marketable quantity of a border controlled drug.
Negrine’s fiance was in tears as he was escorted into custody, despite a court hearing how he had abandoned her for over a decade while on the run from the law.
The Brisbane Supreme Court heard Negrine had played a “relatively important role” in an attempt to import 1.388g of cocaine, in just over 2kg of substance, from New Zealand in early 2012.
Negrine had been charged in March 2012 – but he fled the state just two months before he was due to be married, the court was told.
Negrine’s fiance burst into tears as Justice Rebecca Treston sentenced Negrine to eight years in jail, with a non parole period of four years and three months.
Negrine’s 812 days in pre-sentence custody was declared time-served, and he was escorted back into custody.
Alexander John Hart
A young Gold Coaster who purchased wholesale amounts of cocaine worth tens of thousands of dollars a pop from a syndicate linked to the Comanchero bikie gang will return to jail.
Hope Island man Alexander John Hart, 27, appeared in the Brisbane Supreme Court for sentence on June 4, having previously pleaded guilty to trafficking in dangerous drugs and possessing property suspected of having been used in the commission of a drug offence.
The trafficking was committed at Ashmore and elsewhere between March 26, 2022, and his arrest, alongside several other men alleged to have formed a syndicate, on March 1, 2023.
Crown prosecutor Stephen Muir told the court Hart’s trafficking, although predominantly at the street level, represented a “serious example” of the offence.
He served 56 days’ pre-sentence custody before being granted bail by the Brisbane Supreme Court.
Justice Peter Callaghan sentenced Hart to five years’ imprisonment, suspended after serving five months.
The suspended sentence will hang over Hart’s head for five years.
Yohans “Yoyo” Shol
A convicted drug trafficker whose criminal history includes violent home invasions, vicious assaults and significant drug operations in September 2024 returned to court following drug supply and possession charges across Queensland.
Yohans “Yoyo” Shol appeared in Townsville District Court for his involvement in a major methamphetamine operation two years ago and supplying cocaine to someone who found his phone.
Crown prosecutor Grace Ollason said the 30-year-old who once made headlines for organising and advertising out of control parties on Facebook, was not subject to a sentence order at the time of the offences committed in August 2022 but was on a bail undertaking which included a condition that he had to live outside Townsville.
Judge Brad Farr SC said had Shol been dealt with earlier, he would have been looking at a head sentence of five years jail however explained that actual time in custody was warranted.
Shol pleaded guilty to supplying and possessing drugs, possessing drug-related utensils, breaching bail and failing to give access to an electronic device.
He was sentenced to four years jail, with 109 days of pre-sentence custody being declared as time already served and given a parole eligibility date of February 24, 2025.
Benjamin Donald Weaver
A construction company owner was in December 2024 labelled a “small-time supplier” in court after his covert cocaine and steroid deals were unearthed by police.
Benjamin Donald Weaver came into the crosshairs of police on June 15, 2023 when police searched his home and uncovered small amounts of meth, steroids and prescription drugs.
Maroochydore District Court heard how the 36-year-old was also found with scales, drug items, a taser and a single round of ammunition.
Barrister Shireen Long, instructed by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, said Weaver went to the police station voluntarily and was given a notice to appear on the drug charges.
Audible gasps were heard from Weaver’s supporters in the public gallery when Judge Michael Byrne KC told the builder he would not be sent to jail.
Weaver pleaded guilty to 15 offences including six counts of possessing dangerous drugs and three of supplying drugs, and was jailed for 12 months but given immediate parole.
He was also placed on probation for two years with convictions recorded.
Byron Campbell Falkner
A fly in fly out worker has been found to have tried to facilitate two cocaine deals on encrypted applications.
Messages on the phone application Threema unravelled Byron Campbell Falkner’s secret facilitations following a targeted search warrant at his Alexandra Headland home on August 29, 2023.
Maroochydore District Court heard in April 2025 how the 52-year-old volunteered the code to his phone to police after it was seized during the raid.
During their analysis of his device, they uncovered messages about two drug deals to users on the encrypted messaging system.
Falkner pleaded guilty to two counts of supplying a dangerous drug and was placed on a two-year probation order.
A conviction was recorded.
Street blocked as second day of protests kicks off
Disgruntled CFMEU members have gathered outside the union’s inner-Brisbane office to start a second day of protests after a court this week upheld the move to put the union into administration.
CFMEU members face pay cuts, job losses as strikes wreak havoc
Peak construction bodies have warned the CFMEU’s unlawful protests, expected to shutdown more of Brisbane today, will cause a “massive loss of momentum” on critical projects — including housing.
