The interesting point about the V/Line/Metro trains cleaning corruption scandal is that they appointed Unified Security as its preferred security provider. Only found that out today. see here:

For mine the plot thickens, what are the odds that where we are seeing a proven kickbacks scheme in action the same organisation just happens to have Unified on it books?
Unified Security was not on the preferred suppliers list its owner David Millard was nonetheless emailed by the Victorian Jobs Department at 11:35pm on Friday, March 27 to see if they were interested in the work. Incredibly Unified Security was signed up about 6 or hours later early Saturday morning, and in less than 24 hours was providing security at Melbourne’s first quarantine hotel. The contract now at 44 million not the 30 million I originally believed.
No wonder there is a lot of amnesia going around amongst those involved with the procurement of Unified Security.
Given the policy failure its a disgrace what is happening in Victoria a Royal Commission is needed. The Coates Inquiry’s disinterest in getting to the bottom of all this is bordering on ineptitude.
