NT government expands role of G4S private security guards to support overcrowded watch houses
In an expansion of private prison staff responsibilities in the Northern Territory, Department of Corrections employees have heard the duties performed by private security firm G4S will be increased. In March, the NT government signed a six-month contract with G4S to manage the transfer of Darwin prisoners. G4S security guards currently help to transfer inmates between prisons and the courts, as territory correctional staff face record prisoner numbers. Despite a recruitment drive for 202 new corrections officers to be employed inside prisons this financial year, NT Corrections Minister Gerard Maley has previously acknowledged the prison population is growing and that the government needs to expand the workforce. In an internal memo seen by the ABC, corrections staff were told Corrections Commissioner Matthew Varley had signed a work order to expand the duties carried out by private security guards. "As we shape this next phase, we are working closely with G4S to determine what a Northern Territory-based G4S staffing model could look like." The United Workers Union (UWU), which represents corrections officers, has been strongly opposed to the NT's six-month arrangement with G4S since it began in March. UWU NT branch secretary Erina Early said although G4S guards had been assisting with prison transfers since that time, corrections staff had not seen any improvement to their working conditions. "It hasn't made much change to our correctional officers at all because the [prisoner] numbers are increasing," she said. "Bringing in G4S may relieve a couple of shifts, but it's not having the outcome that the government [is] hoping for." Ms Early said union members were worried for "the safety of the prisoners and also safety of the police" — who have a different skillset to correctional officers — and held concerns the expansion of G4S's services signalled growing privatisation in the NT's corrections system. "They've been saying this since it was announced by Commissioner Matthew Varley, that G4S were coming in — as soon as you have them in, it's like a cancer, they will spread," she said. "They have been taking more and more roles." Corrections Minister Gerard Maley last month told the ABC that privatising the entire NT prison system was not on the government's radar. "There are private firms that run prisons in their entirety, that's not our plan at all," he said. "Our plan is to make sure that we have highly trained officers behind the wire, and then independent contractors such as G4S doing the services outside that." The NT's corrections department has been housing a growing number of prisoners in police watch houses in recent months, due to capacity constraints at territory prisons. Earlier this week, there were about 100 people being held inside the Palmerston police watch house, including overflow corrections prisoners. G4S is part of American private security giant Allied Universal, which employs more than 800,000 people internationally and generates about $20 billion in annual revenue. The company describes itself as a "global leader in security". Security guards employed by G4S in Australia mainly work in prisons and detention centres. The firm has operated Victoria's largest maximum security prison, Port Phillip Prison, since it opened in 1997. A 2018 report by the Victorian auditor-general's office found "serious incidents" at Port Phillip Prison, including assaults and drug use, and "exposed weaknesses in how G4S … manage safety and security risks". A Victorian coroner recently recommended G4S improve staff training following the "preventable" 2022 death of an Aboriginal man in his prison cell. Port Phillip Prison is due to close by the end of this year. Last year, G4S reached a confidential settlement with the parents of an Iranian asylum seeker, who was fatally bashed by guards at a Manus Island offshore detention centre in 2014. The company was also fined over its role in the death of an Aboriginal elder, who overheated in the back of a prison van in remote Western Australia in 2008. It is not yet clear how much the NT government's contract with G4S has cost the public.

Enough is enough: the CFMEU stain on our society must be removed
The disclosures by The Age this week involving a gangland associate, a Gold Coast developer and the CFMEU are disturbing. Not only because they are innately concerning, but also because they show, yet again, that the cancerous network of thuggery, intimidation and misfeasance that contaminates business, industry and wider society throughout this country continues. It is a stain on the nation. The Age reported that Melbourne gangland associate John Khoury was paid $110,000 by Queensland-Melbourne joint venture Glen Q to help secure industrial peace on the Gold Coast, where the developer was building a 16-level project at Broadbeach. A meeting was held between influential CFMEU figures and Khoury. This occurred four months after the federal government forced the union into administration. There is no suggestion the union attendees have done the wrong thing, and the administration has also cleared them. But the payment to Khoury by the developer was uncovered during federal police raids. A money trail was thus revealed between a front company in the name of Khoury's accountant to Glen Q's project. Also involved was Nick Maric, a Melbourne construction boss now a Queensland government contractor, who has separately retained the services of Khoury and Mick Gatto to deal with the CFMEU. Glen Q's payment to Khoury focuses light on how business and construction is done. Our reporting also highlights the rivalry between the CFMEU and the Australian Workers' Union, with representatives of the latter supporting two firms led by figures with criminal links to foil the CFMEU.

Lead poisoning investigation in China alleges cover up by kindergarten
An investigation into the lead poisoning of hundreds of children in western China has revealed an alleged cover-up by the management of the kindergarten at the centre of the scandal. Authorities in China's Gansu province published an update on the probe this week, after 247 blood test samples of children were found to have abnormally high levels of lead earlier this month. Chinese authorities have arrested six people — including the Tianshui kindergarten's principal — and at least 27 government officials are reported to be under further investigation. The latest report said that hospital workers had tampered with the children's blood tests, that the kindergarten's management had bribed local authorities, and there had been no routine food safety checks at the facility in the past two years. Previously, investigators found that the kindergarten management allowed kitchen staff to produce food using paint pigments purchased online that were later found to contain lead and were marked as inedible. Kitchen staff first bought the paint pigments in 2024, according to the investigation update. It said that the paint pigments were used because the kindergarten management wanted to improve the colour and appearance of its food. Pictures of the colourful food were posted widely on social media to attract more students. Videos unable to be verified by the ABC appeared on Chinese social media at the weekend, apparently showing parents confronting police and authorities about the lead contamination. Some parents in the videos claimed they were beaten by police and demanded further investigation of the case. In one of the videos, an angry parent who had their child's blood tested in multiple provinces reads the test results, with the results from a neighbouring province revealing lead contamination eight times higher than the local test results. The government's latest investigation found the provincial testing lab's practices were inadequate. At least two blood test results received at a local hospital were tampered with. One test result was changed from 292.37 to 42.37 micrograms per litre, while another was changed from 440.14 to 103 micrograms per litre. The report also found that the provincial Centre for Disease Control staff did not perform up to standard and the 247 blood test results were unreliable. The report said all 247 children who were found with high levels of lead in their blood had received treatment and only one was still in hospital. Local media reported earlier that in 2006, two factories not far from the kindergarten allegedly polluted the local water system, which also caused more than 200 children to fall sick. The two factories involved were shut down after the scandal. The public has suspected a connection between the 2006 pollution event and this month's blood contamination issue. The latest investigation report claimed officials had tested water and dirt samples collected from the former factory sites, with results showing the lead levels met local requirements.
