South Australia Torrens to Darlington project investigation

The Torrens to Darlington (T2D) infrastructure project in South Australia has come under scrutiny following allegations that an outlaw motorcycle gang attempted to gain influence over Career Boss, a business associated with the project. Reports indicated that businessman Rob Cammarano and his family faced violent attacks, including firebombings and shootings, which the family claims were linked to attempts to control Career Boss recruitment services.

In response to these allegations, Premier Peter Malinauskas requested that the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) evaluate the procurement and contracting safeguards of the $15.4 billion project. While the South Australia Police stated they found no evidence of organized crime successfully operating on public infrastructure projects, the government took precautionary measures by suspending and terminating contracts. Specifically, the Torrens to Darlington Alliance terminated its contract with Career Boss Australia and ceased using LYLA Pty Ltd after identifying common shareholding between the two firms. ICAC Commissioner Emma Townsend has agreed to conduct the requested review.
