Counsel assisting Chris Young, KC, interrupted Thursday’s hearings to reveal he had requested evidence from one of Andrews’ top advisers and made moves to find out who in the government authorised unjustified redactions to material supplied by the Victoria Infrastructure Delivery Authority (VIDA) about a CFMEU shutdown of a $110 million level crossing removal project in 2022.
