In September 2020, the ABCC commenced court proceedings alleging CFMMEU officials Paul Tzimas and Ronnie Buckley and the CFMMEU breached the Fair Work Act by acting in an improper manner at the West Gate Tunnel construction project in Melbourne in December 2019. In December 2022, these proceedings were transferred from the ABCC to the Fair Work Ombudsman. On 18 August 2023, the Fair Work Ombudsman discontinued the proceedings against Mr Buckley only.
