The former head of Queensland's peak building industry body has revealed he attempted suicide after thousands of union members marched to his office with a coffin bearing his name. The incident occurred in 2026, according to reports.
In an emotional statement, the builder boss described the protest as a 'targeted campaign of intimidation' that pushed him to the brink. He said the coffin stunt, organized by the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU), was the final straw after months of harassment.
The union has not commented on the allegations. The case has sparked debate about the line between industrial action and personal harassment in Australia's construction sector.
