Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan says an independent review into the state's construction industry will help get rid of "rotten culture" in parts of the sector.
It comes after revelations by Nine newspapers the CFMEU's construction division has been accused of taking kickbacks, being linked to organised crime and employing stand over tactics on worksites.
The review, led by former Department of Justice Secretary Greg Wilson, aims to find the gaps in the current powers of government agencies to be able to respond to allegations of criminal conduct in the construction industry.
Ms Allan says she's hopeful the issue will be sorted out quickly.
"We also do need to look at how in pulling out this rotten culture by its roots, ensuring that we have the structures and frameworks in the future here in Victoria, amongst our agencies, who both work with the Fair Work act, who interface with those federal jurisdictions who have the industrial relations responsibilities."
Protests in Bangladesh have continued by students opposed to the government's job quota system, which seeks to reserve government jobs for specific groups.
Debris and fallen trees have filled Dhaka's streets, with some protesters gathering despite a curfew enforced by the army to curb violence that has caused 114 deaths and thousands of injuries this week.
In Sydney, Bangladeshi-Australians have rallied in Lakemba to raise awareness about the violence in Bangladesh.
This Bangladeshi Australian doctor wishes to remain anonymous out of fear his family back home in Bangladesh could suffer repercussions.
He says the quota system is out of date.
"It has to be more fair for the students and for everyone to have that system that should be based only on the merit, not on the quotation or the quota. So what that means is a heavily discriminated systems. Only 45 per cent allowed for the general population, and the remaining 55 per cent for a very small group of privileged group who secured the position just on the basis of this current rule."
Currently, 30 per cent of public sector positions are allocated to the families of veterans who fought in the 1971 war of independence.
Protesters says feels it's time to do away with the quotas system and give all Bangladeshis a fair go.

Mr Trump was joined in Michigan by Ohio Senator and running mate J-D Vance at the pair's first event together since they became the Republican Party's nominees.
In addressing the rally, Mr Trump has reflected on the July 13 shooting in Pennsylvania that left him with a bloodied ear, killed one supporter in the crowd and left two others injured.
"What a day it was. As I said earlier this week, I stand before you only by the grace of almighty God. I shouldn't be here... I shouldn't be here."
Mr Trump has also drawn a contrast between the Democrats' infighting over the candidacy of President Joe Biden and the unity in the Republican Party, while also claiming the Democrats are more threatening to democracy.
