Ousted CFMEU leader Michael Ravbar threatened police just before blockade

Michael Ravbar was the CFMEU leader before he was ousted. In May 2024, he sent a legal threat to Queensland's police chief. It was about how officers stopped union officials from visiting a construction site. Days later, CFMEU members blocked a truck at Centenary Bridge.

Why it mattersThe timing matters. Ravbar's legal threat came just days before the blockade. This raises a question: did his threat affect how police responded? It shows how union pressure can shape official decisions.
