EARLIER: 

A Victorian building union official working at the Bendigo Hospital redevelopment has been dismissed by the Construction Forestry, Mining and Energy Union after claims he received 'gifts' from a contractor.

Fairfax Media has confirmed CFMEU leaders recently dismissed the official after an internal probe into the 'gift' claims.

It is believed Victoria Police and the federal government's Fair Work Building and Construction inspectorate are aware of the Bendigo allegations.

The revelation was made as part of a major series by Fairfax Media into union practices.

CFMEU organiser Danny Berardi quit the union earlier this week after Fairfax Media exposed that a Melbourne construction industry company provided free work on his house.
