FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Health Services Union (HSU) boss Kathy Jackson says there’s “an appearance” that the independent industrial watchdog has been trying to protect the Labor government.
Fair Work Australia’s general manager Bernadette O’Neill, in a statement released on Tuesday, said a 1100-page report on the union included 181 contraventions of workplace laws by the HSU’s national office reporting unit, three unnamed former or current officials and one individual who was not an HSU official.
She has referred the entire report – which has yet to be publicly released – to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to consider possible criminal charges.
The investigation looked at the union’s financial management under former general secretary and now Labor MP Craig Thomson.
It’s alleged Mr Thomson, who was the union’s general secretary from 2002 to 2007, misused a credit card for prostitutes, lavish meals and cash withdrawals – allegations he has vehemently denied.
Ms Jackson was asked whether Fair Work Australia had tried to protect the Labor government by not naming people in its update on Tuesday.
“There’s an appearance of that,” Ms Jackson told ABC TV on Tuesday.
In speaking about the matter, Ms Jackson was defying a gag order put in place by her colleagues in January, which forbade executive members of the union from commenting on the investigation.
She denied she was pursuing a vendetta against Mr Thomson and dismissed suggestions her actions could bring down the Labor government.
“This is not of my making,” she said.
“It shows how dysfunctional the ALP has become and how unions are being used and abused by the party.”
Ms Jackson said it was a case study of what can go wrong.
